Nasty Graffiti Found in Beach Neighborhood

Folks in one Virginia Beach neighborhood are trying to scrape away the spray paint. Vandals hit the Westview Village neighborhood. That's off of Indian River Road.

"Oh God. I can't tell you what was on it. It was vulgar," said an elderly graffiti victim.

The 79-year-old woman did not want us to use her name because she is worried the graffiti could be gang-related. Someone spray painted men's genitalia and dirty words on her garage door.

She's not the only one with red, black and copper paint on her property. Someone spray painted a pentagram on Roy Aratt's truck. They also put something on his hood that ate away the paint.

"Looks like they used acid right here," said Roy. "They made another star."

Roy said about 10 cars and homes were marked with graffiti. It was also found on the street and a stop sign. Crowns were also spray painted. Beach Police tell us a crown is a symbol associated with gangs.

Police are still investigating. They don't know if it is the work of gangsters or pranksters. They said if you find graffiti in your neighborhood, call the Crimeline at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
