Arlington police say they collected more surveillance video of the vandals on a crime spree writing hateful racial slurs on nearly 20 cars. But due to their investigation, they aren't releasing that video yet.
One of the victims showed a video that his home surveillance camera captured Saturday morning. The video shows a white car pull up and stop in front of a white truck. A couple of people climbed out, and then it drove away. Arlington police are trying to track down the people who spray painted racist and vulgar phrases on cars over the weekend. Nearly 20 cars were vandalized overnight Friday into Saturday morning.
Sergeant Courtney White with the Arlington Police Department said on Monday that the 17 cars were all within a few miles of each other, and the victims were of different races and genders. "It appears these incidents were random, but that does not take away the seriousness of the crime spree. These incidents have left our department and many in our city concerned and upset. This type of activity and the phrases spray painted have no place in our city," White said. "The Arlington Police Department will do everything to ensure the people responsible are held accountable. We have dedicated additional resources to working these cases.
White says the case is currently being investigated as criminal mischief, but the charges could later be enhanced to a hate crime depending on what detectives learn in their investigation. She said they don't have any details to release about possible suspects at this time. White is asking people to call police directly or call Tarrant County Crime Stoppers.

Ross is refusing to extinguish the last flicker of hope that live thoroughbred racing could ever return to the Arlington grounds. 'I completely understand how fans feel because I'm one of them' he said. 'When we did that big build back in '88-'89, we built it like a fortress. By then it was all Dick's money and he wanted elegance and he wanted permanency. He got both. What's going on out there right now is terrible.'
