Graffiti vandals hit so many Carson City targets since Thursday night, including an elementary school, that authorities said Monday they had not counted them all.

“We’re getting beat up all over town,” said Chief Deputy Steve Schuette of the Carson City Sheriff’s Office.

It appears at least two groups and possibly three are involved, Schuette said.

“We believe it started Thursday night, and it went through last (Sunday) night,” Schuette said. “We’re still getting calls on new stuff.”

Some look like standard graffiti, with others more gang-oriented, Schuette said.

Targets include businesses, houses, vehicles and bridges, he said.

Taggers also hit Al Seeliger Elementary School on South Saliman Road, writing obscenities and other graffiti on the main building, a modular building, playground equipment, a wall students throw a ball against and a city building on the school grounds, Principal Laurel Terry said.

“For as long as I’ve been here, it’s the worst it’s ever been,” Terry said. The graffiti has not disrupted school activities.

“We cleaned it up as fast as we could,” Terry said. “As soon as the weather warms up, and we can paint the ball wall. We’ll be OK.”

Schools Superintendent Mary Pierczynski said until the vandals hit Seeliger Elementary, schools had seen little graffiti this year.

Within the last three years, cameras that monitor areas hardest hit by graffiti reduced it drastically, Pierczynski said.

“We’re going to keep adding more,” she said.

Vandals also struck the Crestview Mobile Home Park on Hot Springs Road. Owner Leon Garicoitz said it was the first time it has happened in the seven years he has owned it.

“They did it twice,” Garicoitz said. “I painted the wall (with graffiti on it) on Sunday morning, and they did it again. And they did the sign, too.”
