Residents Report Graffiti in Southwest Largo

Residents used a new smart phone app to alert officials about problems in their neighborhood.

Along Vonn Road in Southwest Largo someone recently wrote on at least a half dozen utility and other boxes along the roadway.

Residents concerned with the graffiti in their neighborhood contacted Pinellas County, which in turn alerted the Largo Police Department.

The tagging does not appear to be gang related. But the initials and markings are similar to other graffiti the police have seen, said Largo Police Lt. Mike Loux.
