San Jose police are investigating another case of vandalism targeting supporters of a gay marriage ban in California.
Police were called to a house in South San Jose earlier this week after homeowners reported their garage was spray-painted with "No on 8" messages. Proposition 8 would take away the right of same-sex couples to wed.
The homeowners had signs supporting the measure on their lawn.
Sgt. Mike Sullivan said the department has not tracked incidents of political sign vandalism, but he does know there have been at least four reported incidents involving Proposition 8.
The campaign to defeat the measure issued a statement saying it condemns vandalism and activities of this kind.
