HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ (MERCER)–On August 6, 2020, Hamilton Police were detailed to the area of 1200 Cedar Ln. (St. Mary’s Cemetery) in the area of Clover Ave, on a report of a Bias Intimidation complaint regarding graffiti at that location.  Responding officers observed graffiti on the roadway of Clover Ave. which read “Kill N****rs” in red spray paint, which was also accompanied by a Swastika sprayed in red paint.
