The Upper Allen Police seek assistance form the community to help determine who is responsible for recent graffiti found in two additional township parks. On Friday May 4, 2012 at 9:00 AM graffiti was found in the Spring Run Acres Park and the Mt. Allen Park.

In both parks the climbing wall equipment and slides had graffiti painted on them. Spring Run Park had benches and trash cans that were drawn on as well. One common signature symbol was a black circle with a line going through it and 2 dots outside the circle. It also appears the initials “ST” were commonly found as well.

Anyone recognizing the graffiti depicted in the pictures or that may have any information to help solve these incidents is encouraged to contact Upper Allen Police at 717-795-2445 or the anonymous tip line at 717-591-3790
