Two individuals have been taken into custody in connection with vandalism at President Donald J. Trump‘s Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Authorities reported that the incident, involving red paint sprayed on the clubhouse and damage to the greens, occurred early in the morning on March 8:
Vandals attacked Trump Turnberry, a golf resort owned by President Donald Trump, allegedly in response to his recent statements on the Gaza Strip in the Middle East.
…messages were painted on the course in Scotland, United Kingdom, with “Gaza Is Not For Sale” written in large letters. Other images show “F*ck Trump” and “Free Gaza” graffitied on other parts of the property.
Following investigations in Oban, Argyll and Bute, Police Scotland confirmed the arrest of a 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman. Both were subsequently released as inquiries continue. The police have stated that the investigation remains active.
Earlier in the month, a 33-year-old man was also arrested in relation to the same incident. Like the others, he was released after initial questioning.
Authorities are yet to provide further details regarding the motive behind the vandalism or the potential suspects involved. The Trump Turnberry Resort, a prominent golfing location, spans 800 acres and is known for hosting significant golf events. Police have urged anyone with information to come forward as they work to piece together the events leading to the damage.
