Republican county offices across North Carolina are being warned after a GOP headquarters in Orange County near Durham was firebombed and vandalized overnight.
Hillsborough police are investigating the incident that occurred at the Orange County Republican Party headquarters.
The building was targeted with hate graffiti and a flammable material was thrown through a front window of the headquarters.
“This highly disturbing act goes far beyond vandalizing property; it willfully threatens our community’s safety via fire, and its hateful message undermines decency, respect and integrity in civic participation,” Hillsborough Mayor Tom Stevens said.
The North Carolina GOP will hold a press conference Sunday at 6 p.m. at its Orange County office.
Hillsborough police are still investigating.
