A pair of prolific taggers have been busted in the North Okanagan. Two young men, ages 18 and 19, were arrested in downtown Vernon over the weekend and are facing possible charges of mischief for their part in graffiti tagging more than two dozen buildings in both Armstrong and Vernon. Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says the two were noticed acting suspiciously by Vernon bylaws officers. “One was known to police and had been caught tagging buildings about a year ago. With the help of officers from Armstrong, they were able to tie the two in together and after some time the two individuals admitted to doing some tagging in our area,” says Molendyk. He says the two likely caused thousands of dollars in damage to the buildings they tagged in terms of the costs associated with removing graffiti. Molendyk says the two can’t be named until charges are approved and that could take a couple of weeks.
