Main Street graffiti crew caught on video

From Bryan:

At 2:18am on September 14th, six men brandishing spray cans vandalized the brick wall at 1908 East Main.

If anyone recognizes any of these men, please contact Officer T Fields of the 1st Precinct. He can be reached at 646-3602.

The vandals are much more recognizable in the videos than in the attached stills. The police have all the security cam footage.

Saw some new tags down 22nd towards Main today as well. I love many things about this city, but the absolute lack of respect towards private property is very, very annoying. Would lump this bunch with all the lovely people who do not bother picking up their dog poop.

Am I to suppose that we should be awestruck by the brilliance of this “artwork”? And grateful that we can “enjoy” it for free?
It vandalism to private property. This was obviously a planned “event”. I really wish I could understand the “why”.

@3- It’s only artwork if you can get someone to pay you for making it. 😉

NO! I had a problem with someone throwing rocks st my geese so I installed a surveillance camera. I was sure it was some teens being stupid, however, the person that was taped doing this was a man with gray hair!

The camera is just as good at hight. It adjusts itself to various light conditions. I have vedio of three guys going thru my and my neighbors cars at three in the morning.

Notice that they left the building alone that had the bright lights on. Please turn on, and leave on, your porch lights at night.

So, should we pay them to NOT make “art”? While they may claim artistic pride, they only show fear & cowardice by choosing 2:18AM

I’ll put up and offer $250 to the arrest and conviction of these vandals. Anyone else?

Perhaps they should have stuck with artwork on their Mom’s refrigerator.

It’s just an ugly brick wall, no big deal.

Banksy, they’re not. So happy to see there is video footage to help capture these vandals.

I am the person who originally reported this to the police.

I have been informed that the suspects have been identified, and that questioning will be taking place today, so arrests are imminent..

stay tuned!
