Police: 3-Block Area Covered With Graffiti

Buildings, Cars Damaged, Police Say

Property owners in Danielson said Thursday that they're furious because their buildings and cars are being covered in graffiti.

Police have estimated the cost of the damage to be at least $1,000.

The graffiti is everywhere within a three-block area, police said, and includes letters like GDF, the word WAKE and the image of an eye. They said they don't know what it means, but that they want it to stop.

The victims said they want it to stop as well.

"There's a building over there, there's a building over there, two people's cars got done," resident Ashley Lonchiadis said. "It's terrible. It's not fair at all."

Connecticut State Police at Troop D said their first complaints about the vandalism came Wednesday morning. Among the landmarks that were tagged, they said, was the AT&T building and several company buildings parked behind it.

Danielson attorney Martin Weiss said it cost him $106 to get the graffiti buffed out of the door of his car on Thursday at the local Ford dealership.

Police said they're asking anyone with information to call Troop D at 860-779-4900.
