Over the past few months the Lacombe Police Service has seen an increase in graffiti being reported throughout the city.

A large vinyl fence was hit in the College Heights area, with graffiti also reported on the Burman University campus, and some out buildings in Lacombe have also recenlty been tagged.

Defacing property with graffiti is both a crime under the Criminal Code (Public Mischief), plus it is an offence under Lacombe’s Community Standards Bylaw.

These acts of vandalism to public property are costly to Citizens both in terms of time and money.

Anyone with information on the person(s) responsible for these acts of vandalism is asked to contact the Lacombe Police Service at (403) 782-3279 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
