Rock Valley, Iowa — Authorities in Rock Valley are investigating after someone painted swastika-like symbols on a trail bridge.
The Kiwanis Trail is a converted railroad right-of-way, and the converted bridge is an old railroad bridge in the northwest part of Rock Valley. The symbols appear to be swastikas, but while a Nazi swastikas’ arms are clockwise, the arms on these symbols appear to be counterclockwise.
City officials posted about the vandalism to their Facebook page on Thursday morning. They are asking any witnesses to these crimes or any residents who have information on these acts to notify the Rock Valley Police Department or call the Sioux County Sheriff’s Department.
The Rock Valley Police Department can be reached at 712-476-5716. Police officers are dispatched from the Sioux County communication center, and that number is 712-737-3307.
