Brookland Business Seeks Help Identifying Vandals

BROOKLAND, Ark. – Earlier this week in Brookland, vandals targeted a local business that has yet to commence operations, leaving a disturbing display of vandalism.

The Southern Chef’s ownership revealed the sad incident in a Facebook post on Thursday. Someone went upstairs onto the roof of their building, 801 Holman Street in Brookland, to spray an HVAC unit with what appears to be a poor attempt at the Jewish Star of David.

The odd choice of symbolism prompted questions from commenters.

“Were they going for a pentagram and just showed how ignorant they are?” asked Melissa Kat on the social media post. “Were they actively trying to be antisemitic but just ended up painting Jewish symbols on things? Is there a Jewish street gang trying to claim their turf in Brookland? I have so many questions…”

The owner also wrote in the social media post that the perpetrator(s) changed the camera directions and turned off all of their freezers and coolers.

Ownership concluded the post by asking the public to contact Brookland police with any information on the vandal(s). Their number is (870) 336-2073.

The store announced it had passed final inspection on Monday and is planning to open in a “few more days.”
