Vernon police looking for prolific tagger

VERNON – Police are looking for someone so in love with their own talents, they spray-painted it on three schools, a bus and a government building.

Vernon RCMP hope you will recognize the tags in the Pleasant Valley Road area of Armstrong that started appearing in November, which are similar enough for police to believe they all belong to the same person. 

They started to appear in mid-November on the outside walls of the Lenwood Middle School and the Pleasant Valley Secondary School, as well as a mini bus parked at the secondary school. Then closer to December, more graffiti appeared on the outside walls of the sewage treatment plant on Adair Avenue and the Armstrong Elementary School on Pleasant Valley Road.

If you know anything about the tags, contact the Armstrong RCMP Detachment at 250-546-3028 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
