A UC Berkeley student was charged with felony vandalism Tuesday for alleged graffiti at University Village in Albany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Between Oct. 14 and Dec. 1, UCPD and the Albany Police Department received several reports of vandalism in and around University Village, according to UCPD sergeant Jacob Westlie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an email to The Daily Californian, Westlie said the vandalism included messages \u201cexpressing opposition to and advocating death to Zionists, Israel, the IDF, ICE, and the RSF in Sudan\u201d with permanent marker, spray paint and stickers. Westile said the cleanup costs were estimated at more than $7,800.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been confronted with escalating challenges of antisemitic graffiti in Albany,\u201d said Albany Mayor Robin L\u00f3pez in a Nov. 24 statement. \u201cI fully denounce this disgustingly vile attempt to normalize hate as an acceptable form of public expression. It\u2019s not acceptable and will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Westile, UCPD investigators identified UC Berkeley student Sean Ceballos, who was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office on Tuesday, as a suspect.<\/p>\n
