SEATTLE (AP) — Vandals broke a window and left “Occupy” graffiti overnight on a Wells Fargo branch in Seattle’s Madison Park neighborhood.

KIRO-TV reports the graffiti reads, “No banks, no cops” and “Occupy! Oakland” along with an anarchy symbol. The bank remains open Monday with customers directed to use a side door. On Saturday in Oakland, Occupy demonstrators broke into City Hall and battled police who made more than 400 arrests.

Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel says detectives are looking at some evidence in their investigation of the bank vandalism but have no suspects at this time.

Another Wells Fargo branch in downtown Seattle is the target of a noon protest Tuesday promoted by the Working Washington group that says the bank is not paying its fair share of taxes.
