Graffiti is not the kind of holiday decorating downtown merchants wanted, but vandals gave it to them anyway and it wasn't even close to artistic or holiday themed.

Sometime between 4:30 p.m. on December 4 and 7 a.m. on December 5, vandals armed with spray paint left their mark at several locations downtown including Two Rivers Convention Center, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and even a parked vehicle.

Some of the spray painted messages were 'One King', 'F.T.L. Crew', 'Sleepy', Coke Eight Ball', 'Travieso', and expletives. The damage is estimated to be over $2,000.

If you know anything about the vandalism or the people involved in it, contact Crime Stoppers of Mesa County anonymously with that information. Call 970-241-7867 or visit the Crime Stoppers website to make a report.

If the information provided leads to an arrest, the person providing it is eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 which can be collected anonymously.
