Juveniles accused of graffiti tagging, vandalism taken into custody

Posted

ALAMOSA — The Alamosa Police Department (APD) has identified and taken into custody two juveniles they believe are responsible for numerous incidents of graffiti tagging and vandalism across the city.

The arrests followed a month of investigations into numerous tagging incidents, many of which had a unique moniker of “Froggy,” and other identifying similarities. The juveniles’ actions have resulted in several thousand dollars worth of damage to local parks, buildings and signs.

APD Code Enforcement worked diligently to identify the individuals responsible and took two juveniles into custody who were charged with suspicion of criminal mischief.

“We are dedicated to keeping our community parks clean and safe,” said APD Chief George Dingfelder. “Vandalism like this damages public property and affects everyone's enjoyment of our parks. We will continue to actively pursue those responsible and hold them accountable for their actions.”
