ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police are investigating after someone vandalized the Islamic Center of North Fulton Monday.
Channel 2 Action News obtained photos of the sign outside of the mosque on Rucker Road. Vandals sprayed the words “London Justice” and some other similar phrases on the building. Police are investigating if the damage is in response to the Islamic radical attack on a British soldier last week in London.
Channel 2’s Mike Petchenik got a copy of the incident report explaining what an officer saw when he arrived at the mosque.
“Upon arrival, the eyewitness stated that he had seen an elderly Caucasian male wearing a rag on his head and short pants defacing the entrance sign at the Islamic Center. He approached the suspicious person and asked him, ‘What are you doing?’ at which the time the elderly man walked off towards the bushes. It was stated that the suspicious person appeared to have an English accent,” the report said.
Petchenik spoke to Moiz Mumtaz, chairman of the Islamic Center Board of Directors. Moiz said he is disappointed that someone would vandalize the property.
“I’m just totally surprised and disappointed that something like this has happened,” Moiz said.
Moiz said the worshippers at the center have not done anything wrong.
