Teen Arrested in Graffiti Crackdown
A teenager was arrested on suspicion of felony vandalism Friday as part of a campaign to curb a rash of freeway graffiti in the San Fernando Valley, authorities said.
Members of the California Highway Patrol’s West Valley anti-gang/graffiti task force served a search warrant at the residence of the teen Friday morning, CHP Officer Bob Granieri said.
“Key evidence was found at the location, which linked the suspect to $10,000 of freeway damage,” Granieri said.
The teenager, whose name was not released because of his age, was booked at the Van Nuys Jail.
