Graffiti binger pinched


From the Forum:

One man went on a graffiti binge through Middle Village, indiscriminately marking up about two blocks with yellow spray paint on the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 31, police said.

Around 11:30 a.m. an 18-year-old sprayed yellow paint onto just about anything within reach—cars, fences, garages and homes—along Juniper Valley Road, said Thomas Bell, Community Affairs Officer from the 104th.

The alleged vandal started at 74th Street and ended at 72nd Street where a bystander stopped him and held the man until police came.

Officer Robert Swistun arrested Adam Demiraj of Middle Village after a 911 call, Bell said, and Demiraj was charged with 13 separate arrests for making graffiti.

Is there anyway to remove this mess from the homeowner's fencing? A liquid solution of some sort? Painting over it won't look right.

Amazes me that these morons tag up their own neighborhoods like it's a slum. If they want to live in a slum, they should be dropped off in the middle of the night and have to find their way home with no money, etc.

George T.A., anti-graffiti groups such as C.A.G.E. have solvents that remove most of the spray paint from vinyl fences. The quicker it's done, the better the job.
