Authorities in Peru are searching for a vandal who spray-painted a penis image on a wall of Chan Chan, a 600-year-old pre-Columbian archaeological city and UNESCO World Heritage Site located 300 miles north of Lima. The act was filmed and posted on Facebook on May 12, prompting the Ministry of Culture to launch an investigation and file a criminal complaint. The suspect could face up to six years in prison under Peru’s Penal Code. A restoration team has been sent to clean and repair the damaged mud plaster wall.
