tagger traits

We've had several recent incidents of tagging on our streets. Here's how you can spot a tagger: has paint or marker stains on hands, under the fingernails, or on clothes; wears bulky military jacket, pull-over or zip-up with a hood to help conceal spray cans and markers; has blood-shot eyes from being out all night tagging and being exposed to dangerous toxic fumes from the markers and paint; has tag names written on the underside of the bill of a sports cap, visor, or on notebooks and other possessions; has a backpack to hide spray cans; wears baggy clothes with deep pockets to hide spray cans; has spray paint on sneakers or shoes. If you see someone you suspect of being a tagger, don't attempt to apprehend that person. Instead, get a good description of the suspect (and any vehicle involved) and report it to police.
