Graffiti Vandals Caught on Video!!

We need your help in trying to identify these graffiti vandals. These images were from First Ward but graffiti vandals are mobile so good chance they have been through South End. Regardless, we want to see graffiti vandals caught so if you think you recognize anyone please scroll down and feel free to contact Crime Stoppers or CMPD.

Public Safety Alert!

CMPD has asked that I share the following information. Please be on the look out for this individual and if you see him please call 911 immediately.

“Wesley Boyd Patterson has been confirmed to be back in business. He was seen in at least one building in the 1000 Block of E. Morehead Street, and has been described by witnesses as having been in a building in the 400 MLK, Jr. Blvd. as well as on Morehead Street.  Should you encounter Mr. Patterson Please call the police.”

$500 Reward to Stop Graffiti in South End

CMPD, Crime Stoppers and South End have teamed up to help address the graffiti problems in South End. Effective immediately, we are offering a reward that will pay up to $500 for information that leads to the arrest of any person or persons responsible for graffiti in South End. This reward is unique to South End and we are purposefully taking a more grass roots and word of mouth approach rather than broadcast from a media platform.

Offering a reward is not the only solution for addressing graffiti. It is crucial that once a building has been tagged, that the owner remove the graffiti as quickly as possible. Graffiti artists live to see and for others to see their “handiwork” so its important to have it removed as quickly as possible. Your efforts, combined with a reward structure to arrest these folks is key to addressing this problem.

Below is the flier from Crime Stoppers which provides a number of ways for you to report the crime. Additionally, the pdf for this flier is attached Crime Stoppers Flyer so you can down load and make copies to pass out or put in your place of business. If you have any questions please let me know and please spread the word!
