Full Notification

Detectives from the Santa Barbara Police Department are requesting the public’s assistance in a case involving multiple graffiti vandalisms that occurred in the Mesa area during the late night and early morning hours of October 28 and 29, 2016.  During that timeframe eleven locations on the 500 and 600 blocks of Meigs Road, 600 block of Aurora Avenue, and 1900 block of Cliff Drive were spray painted with black paint causing over $3,600.00 worth of damage.  Public property, commercial property, and six residences were vandalized.  This appears to be the work of a tagger or tagging crew, and not a criminal street gang.

Discernible in the graffiti were the initials “LEM” and the moniker “ALIEN.”  Anyone with information is asked to contact SBPD Detective Christina Marshall at (805) 897-2309 / [email protected] or call anonymously to (805) 897-2386.
