Last week workers installed cameras outside and a security system inside the Gan Camarillo Preschool in Old Town.
Aid Alert Security of Westlake Village is charging the preschool $5,000—about $3,000 off the retail price—for the system.
“The reason we're doing it is because it's wrong,” owner Ed Nuki said of the Nazirelated vandalism that appeared at the preschool three times last year.
The preschool was hit in July, August and December with Nazirelated graffiti, said Camarillo Police Detective Pete Seery.
“I just can't believe it happened here. But it's everywhere, I guess,” Seery said at the preschool last week while offering the workers advice on the security installation.
Jonathan Samuel Latino of Camarillo pleaded guilty to committing a hate crime and felony vandalism for the August incident at the preschool and elsewhere in town.
In April, he was sentenced to a year in jail and a $1,100 fine.
Investigation into the other incidents is ongoing, Seery said.
