RCMP say tagging a costly crime Not only business owners and residents are sick of the rash of grafitti going on in Parksville. The police have had a bellyful as well, and they’re calling on the public for help in shutting it down. Oceanside RCMP Corporal Jesse Foreman said police noted a significant increase of graffiti on private and public property in Oceanside last year.
“Not only does graffiti look unsightly, it costs business owners and tax payers an incredible amount of money,” he said. Graffiti — or tagging — is mischief, a criminal offence, one in which police Foreman said are taking seriously. “With the warm weather approaching police urge the public to assist in combating this problem,” he said. “Be-
