FARGO – A rash of graffiti appeared on properties in parts of the Village West and West Acres areas over St. Patrick’s Day weekend, and police are asking for help tracking down the vandals.

“The graffiti appears to be juvenile in nature, and not gang related,” police said in a news release Tuesday, March 20.

The suspects are boys ages 11 to 14 wearing dark hoodies, according to police.

The boys allegedly created the graffiti between 8 and 10:30 p.m. sometime on Saturday, March 17, or the day after. A map provided by police shows the vandals struck 15 times in areas northwest of the Barnes & Noble strip mall and areas northwest of the junction of Interstates 29 and 94.

Police ask anyone with information about the vandals to call (701) 241-5777 or text (701) 730-8888.
