LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying who is responsible for ongoing graffiti tagging in the city’s downtown.

Police said that between 3 and 4 a.m. Wednesday, the latest round of graffiti tagging occurred.

It’s been an ongoing issue, and the responsible subjects have repeatedly vandalized the same buildings after the business owners fix or remove the graffiti, police said.

“This is a public nuisance that can deteriorate our beautiful city. So help us keep our city safe and clean,” the agency said in a statement.

Anyone with information about the graffiti is asked to contact investigating Officer Joe Medici at 707-263-5491, Extension 120, or by email at jmedici@lakeportpolice.org . You can also send us a private message via Facebook or send us a tip by texting the words “TIP LAKEPORT” followed by your message to the number “888777.”
