Reno Police cited three kids for graffiti Sunday after an apartment resident found them spray painting on the side of the building.

The apartment resident on Smithridge Drive said she saw the three juveniles sitting at the end of her apartment building and when she started to approach them, they took off running.

She smelled the fresh paint and noticed that the side of her apartment complex had been spray painted, and then chased after the kids. With the help of some other tenants, they were able to catch them and detain them until the police arrived.

All three of the suspects had paint on their hands that matched the paint colors that was still wet on the outside walls of the apartment building.

The three kids that were cited were a 9 year old, 10 year old, and an 11 year old. They were then released to their parents.
