“Officers, with the assistance of Manhattan Beach Public Works, are currently in the process of removing the stickers,” Ineguez said. “This matter is under investigation. It is believed this incident occurred sometime overnight.
“The Manhattan Beach Police Department is seeking the assistance of the community with this investigation in an attempt to identify the person or persons responsible for this disturbing act,” Ineguez said.
