Police: Man painted graffiti, smashed windows of Pa. Planned Parenthood
Wilkes Barre City Police are searching for the man pictured, saying he is wanted in connection with vandalism of a Pennsylvania Planned Parenthood.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Officials say a man broke into a Planned Parenthood office in northeastern Pennsylvania, smashing glass doors and painting graffiti on the walls.
Melissa Reed, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Keystone, said surveillance images show a man throwing a brick through a window of the Wilkes-Barre office at about 2 a.m. Monday.
She said the same man returned about an hour later with another brick, smashed other windows, climbed through the door and spray-painted graffiti including a biblical verse in red.
Planned Parenthood Keystone said in a statement the act was "aimed to intimidate, threaten and instill fear."
Reed said the office offers birth control, cancer screenings, general health care, STD testing, pregnancy testing and the morning-after pill but does not do surgical abortions there.
Wilkes Barre City Police shared a photo of a man who they say is person of interest in the case.
