Auto shop vandalized with racist graffiti, so the owner installed cameras. Video captured two black suspects.

News & Politics

A black-owned automobile shop had been targeted for weeks by vandals leaving racist graffiti but the owner was surprised to find out the suspects were also black after he set up surveillance cameras.

The incident unfolded at Dwayne Haynesworth’s Auto Body and Repair Shop in Spring Lake, North Carolina.

Haynesworth told WRAL that he was confused by the racist images left on cars by vandals over several weeks.

“I mean I’m not bothering anybody. I’m just out here trying to do business. I don’t really know anybody out here,” he said.

The spray painted swastikas and KKK figures on his cars and left the message, “please leave.” They also damaged several vehicles. The owner said that the vandalism started after one of his vehicles was stolen from the lot he rents.

Haynesworth then set up surveillance cameras to capture images of the vandals.

Just 24 hours later, he showed the video to WRAL’s Gilbert Baez.

The video showed two young males who appear to be black trying to steal one of Haynesworth’s cars. The shop owner says there was more damage done to his vehicles, including paint scratches and windows broken.

One clue that might have tipped off the police to the incident being not a legitimate instance of white supremacy was that the swastika had one of the arms painted backwards.

Baez noted that the suspects appeared to be smoking a “blunt” on the video captured of them, and added that police didn’t take any fingerprints at the scene of the crime.

The Spring Lake Police Department posted screenshots from the surveillance video on their Facebook page and asked for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.

Here’s the local news video about the incident:

  1. “One clue that might have tipped off the police to the incident being not a legitimate instance of white supremacy was that the swastika had one of the arms painted backwards.”
    ———
    Another words, the blacks were less educated than whites?

        1. You are a Joker? Your comment violates the guidelines here, and I put the term in quotes to make the point.

          What conclusion would you have drawn from the published quote in the article? It’s like what Biden said — poor people are just as smart as white.

          Well, there is only one race, the human race, that matters. The world-wide disputes are at root tribal — like against like, i.e., gangs.

          1. As spoken by a true liberal hiding behind race as an excuse to send a false message that they are not racist.. HAH! Your just dissapointed they were black vandal’s. Hypocrite !

  2. The police didn’t take any fingerprints at the scene of the crime?
    You got to be kidding, what they don’t have any crime scene technicians?
    I thought that would be standard procedure.

      1. That’s one possibility. Another might be that the video showed the perps wearing gloves and our ever-smart and probing media neglected to mention it. Leaving it out would make the police look incompetent.

  3. How many people are still buying the BLM BS ?, stiffing stupid white people by using a false narrative is the Motus Operando for them and using decent black folks is “No Problemo”.

  4. Blacks using their color and their hate for whites for the purpose of propogating the lie. Blacks are the most racist people out there and their so called leaders and the Democrat party use it for their own gains.
