Graffiti Reported at Memorial Park

A resident walking the track at Russell Elliot Memorial Park reported graffiti vandalism to police on Tuesday.

Police said they discovered a "large amount" of graffiti on the rear of the park, near the woods and Turnpike. Yellow and white paint marked a shed, benches, trash cans, dugout, a utility pole and the track, a report from the responding officer said.

"Tampa" and "M.O.B." were among the words marked on the township property, police said.

Authorities found a yellow spray paint canister cap and took it in to be processed.

The regional TAG anti-graffiti unit was notified and called out to remove the illegal paint markings, police said.
