Vandalism around Cresco

CRESCO - Police Chief Tim Ruroden reported sometime over Saturday night, May 23, vandals used black spray paint to write letters and symbols on North Elm businesses from the alley. Some of the businesses with damage include Outdoors & More, Cresco Bicycles, Scene Shop, The Hair Co. and Angie’s Beauty Shop.

The incidents are still under investigation. Ruroden asks anyone with information to call 563-547-2424. 

This is labeled as criminal mischief. The chief is unsure of the degree as it depends on how much it costs to fix the graffiti.

He went on to say that since the pandemic has hit, the number of domestic disturbances and drug-related calls have picked up.
