Tagger Arrested

Sunday, September 21, 2014 at approximately 10:45AM: The Crown Heights Shmira hotline received a call from a local store owner who witnessed someone spray painting the wooden panels outside a construction site on Carroll Street between Kingston and Brooklyn Avenue. Shmira members responded and met up with the caller who was following the perpetrator. After the caller pointed out the perpetrator he left and Shmira members continued discreetly following while waiting for police to respond.

While Shmira members followed they witnessed the perpetrator, who was with a female companion, spray paint two other locations on President Street between New York and Nostrand Avenues. Each time, after finishing his handiwork, the perpetrator would stash his spray can in his companion’s bag. After leaving his mark on President Street, the perpetrator then proceeded into the subway station on the corner with Shmira members hot on his trail.

Police arrived and after questioning the duo, the perpetrator readily admitted to spray painting and his companion admitted to stashing the can for him. Police placed the perpetrator under arrest and confiscated the spray paint.

In case of an emergency always call Crown Heights Shmira @ 718-221-0303 24/7
