The Martin County Sheriff's Office is looking for multiple vandals who may face hate crime charges.

The Martin Downs Country Club is one of the few African-American-owned golf courses in the U.S. and its CEO says vandals have struck for a second time in the same spot.

Stanley Campbell says graffiti was spray-painted in a cart path tunnel and there are references to racism and religion on multiple levels.

Sheriff's investigators believe several people were involved in the New Year's weekend crime and they are hoping for the public's help to find the culprits.

Campbell purchased the Palm City course at an auction and fears that whoever is targeting him may try to go beyond graffiti.
