Harvey County sheriff's officers are looking for the people who have been committing hate crimes against a family in Walton. Earlier this week someone spray painted the family's door with hateful and threatening writing and set their van on fire.

Harvey County Deputy Jim Sauerwein says this is the second time this family has been the target of such an attack. He says Walton's small population may help them catch the vandal.

The family says they are glad no one was hurt. They have no plans to move.

Harvey County officials say they are checking leads in Walton and Newton. If you know anything about the vandalism please call Crimestoppers at 316-284-2400.
