A New Type Of Graffiti Downtown

 

Rockford, Illinois- Driving along Jefferson Street downtown, you might be surprised to see a new, more permanent, type of graffiti.

 

"They�re adding a whole-nother dimension to it,� says Quincy Brown, �I am worried then."

 

Brown works at Mr. Shug`s on Jefferson Street. He is a barber. "To an extent you got to be worried because you don`t know who it is."

 

The graffiti artists hit nearly every window, except Mr. Shug`s.

 

Dominic Iasparro of the Rockford Police says it is a serious matter, "this damages the glass itself, because it`s actually etched into the glass."

 

Graffiti artists can buy etching supplies at any local craft store. To tag a window, all they have to do is dip the brush in an etching cream and paint it on. In seconds, the window is permanently ruined.

 

"The dollar amount is more significant when the glass has to be replaced," says Iasparro.

 

Police say this type of graffiti is most likely created by a single artist, rather than a gang.

 

Iasparro says, "a great deal is done by people 10 or 11 year`s old."

 

Brown agrees when he sees the marks near Mr. Shug`s barber shop. "Most people know the gangs in the area and that`s just not one that comes to mind."

 

Whether or not it is gang-related, graffiti is a serious criminal offense. However, since it tends to happen late at night, police say it is hard to catch the criminals.

 

"Graffiti is a major problem recently for us," says Iasparro.

 

Police say if you see anyone suspicious loitering around downtown to give them a call. Chances are, they are looking around to see if they are being watched.
