Halton Regional Police launched an inves- tigation after Town of Oakville operations staff reported recurring tagging in the area near Craigleith Road and Prince Michael Drive. A tag is often considered a graffiti artists signature. A recurring tag was found on hydro and cable units, mailboxes, stop signs, bridges and concrete retaining walls. Members of the HRPS Oakville Criminal Investigations Bureau Strategic Support Team (SST) linked this tag to more than 70 locations in town, mostly in the Joshua Creek area. A suspect was arrested overnight Wednesday. Jason Oh has been charged with several counts of mischief under $5,000 and is due to appear in Milton court on Oct. 4. Police estimate it would cost $20,000 to remove the graffiti or replace the damaged property. Police advise that, though graffiti can be related to gangs marking their territory, in most cases it is done by youths not affiliated to any street gang. Parents are asked to be mind- ful of youths in possession of tagging tools such as pray paint cans, graffiti art and wide- tipped markers. Halton police continue to investigate other forms of vandalism and ask people to report such acts. People who have information regarding those responsible for such acts of vandalism are asked to call Detective Sergeant Anthony Odoardi at 905-878-5511, ext. 2215 or by call- ing Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). l ffPo ice tag gra iti artist Halton residents are taking back the night in Burlington on Wednesday, Sept. 21.
