Police believe a female suspect tagged various statues in the area of 112 Street and Jasper Avenue with spray paint and marker approximately 20 times over the past year. Investigation by officers from the Downtown Division Neighbourhood Empowerment Team connected a woman to the vandalisms after it was reported a horse statue was tagged on Nov. 11, 2015.
Camille Martineau, 29, was arrested without incident on Monday, Dec. 14, 2015. She faces one charge of mischief over $5,000.
“Graffiti continues to be a prominent crime in downtown Edmonton. Vandalism defaces the downtown core, gives the impression that a neighbourhood may be unsafe, and causes unnecessary expense for property owners,” says Const. Ryan May with Downtown Division.
“If you discover graffiti vandalism on your property, take photographs and record details about the tag, report the incident to police and remove the graffiti as soon as possible,” adds Const. May.
