YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — No suspects have been identified in the vandalism of Yokota High School and more than a dozen Yokota school buses, but investigators are tracking several leads, base and school officials said Thursday.

"Military authorities are investigating the incident, and we are cooperating fully during the process," Chip Steitz, a Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Pacific spokesman on Okinawa, said in an e-mail to Stars and Stripes.

Officials said it remains unclear how many people took part or whether students were even involved in the incident, which occurred between 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.

At least three buildings at the school and the marquee out front were spray-painted in red with what appeared to be the "A" anarchy symbol. A derogatory phrase was spray-painted on the main office.

Steitz said the "anarchy" symbol showed up on 17 DODDS buses parked overnight inside a fenced area near the campus. No spray-painting was found inside the school, he added.
