Beginning in January 2010, Yucaipa deputies have been investigating several incidents of graffiti in the city. Following a tip, deputies arrested 3 adults for felony vandalism. They were identified during the investigation for spray painting graffiti in various locations of Yucaipa City on both private and public property over the last six months. The three are suspected of causing tens of thousands of dollars of damage. Tracy Alshurafa, 23 was also arrested for a violation of parole and possession of methamphetamine.
The deputies worked in conjunction with Yucaipa City Code Enforcement who, in the last 18 months, have utilized a new graffiti tracking system called “Graffiti Reduction Interception Program,” or “GRIP.” Reports of graffiti are taken and later photographed, using a special camera which also maps and documents the precise location of the occurrence. The data than can be later compiled together to give deputy sheriff investigators an easy way to string cases together reaching many months in the past and arrest offenders responsible for defacing property with graffiti.
