For the past several months, the City of Simi Valley has experienced an uptick in “gang graffiti” vandalisms, wherein the suspects have predominantly been targeting residential areas located on the west end of the city. In many of those graffiti vandalisms, a suspect has tagged “GMT” on fences and properties that face several residential thoroughfares. Members of the Simi Valley Police Department’s Special Enforcement Team took the lead in investigating these crimes and identified David Euan, 20 years, who is a resident of Simi Valley as being the primary suspect in this series.
On July 12, 2024, David Euan was arrested at his residence and was taken to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department’s East Valley Jail where he was booked for Felony Vandalism.

Those duties include the enforcement of lewd/dissolute conduct in public, Human Trafficking enforcement, ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) enforcement investigations and assessment, the enforcement of street-level narcotics, warrant service on wanted individuals, and gang enforcement.
