Graffiti incidents on the rise

Police are making an effort to crack down on graffiti, since cases have risen in the past few months. One Roosevelt High School student was charged earlier this week as a juvenile with criminal mischief in relation to 17 incidents. An employee of the Git-N-Go convenience store on 42nd St. gave officers a tip about who tagged the back side of the store, and they went to the school and talked with the student. A search of the backback turned up the spray paint. Officers expect more cases as we have more daylight hours and the weather gets warmer.
