News 12 is reporting that anti-Latino was found on a building in Bayshore where 4 of the 5 businesses owned there are Hispanic. Click here to watch the report.

The grafitti included:

"Latinos Go Home"

"Get Out of the USA"

"Leave or Die"

The police are investigating a suspicious fire in the back of the building three weeks ago to see if the two incidents are linked.
