POLICE INVESTIGATING GRAFFITI
(MILDMAY, ON) – March 16, at 11:30 a.m., the South Bruce OPP received the report of graffiti at a residence along Stinson Street in Mildmay.
Officers arrived to find that spray paint had been used on a stump in the front yard.
Graffiti is any writing, symbols or drawing applied to any surface without the property owner’s consent. Graffiti negatively impacts a community’s beautification. The removal or repair costs can be expensive, but it must be removed. Graffiti left unchallenged suggests a community that is apathetic about its appearance and, most often, leads to more graffiti being applied.
The application of graffiti is a criminal act called mischief which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail.
