Vandals Hit Banks, Fed, Other Downtown Boston Buildings

BOSTON (CBS) - Police say they're investigating a rash of graffiti vandalism in Downtown Boston discovered in the last 24 hours.

Officers put out a list of many of the 21 locations where the graffiti was discovered.

Much of the graffiti, which was laced with profanities, bore a political message in line with the Occupy Boston movement.
