AUGUSTA (WGME) -- Work is underway on Thursday to restore the Maine Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Augusta after it was vandalized over the weekend.
Crews are using baking soda and a low-pressure power washer to remove the spray paint without damaging the memorial.
The Maine Law Enforcement Officers Memorial had to be covered on Memorial Day after someone spray painted the display with several messages.
Photos posted on social media show someone spray-painted three names, including a detective, on the memorial. It goes on to refer to "corruption" and a "secret society.”
None of the names mentioned in the message appear to be listed on the wall.
Maine State Police and the Maine Chiefs of Police Association are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible.
If you do have information to share, contact Maine Capitol Police at (207) 287-4357.
The Maine Law Enforcement Officers Memorial was dedicated in 1991 by the Maine Chiefs of Police Association.
