Olmsted County Sheriff’s deputies have increased the number of patrols at night and on weekends in Byron in response to the recent spike in graffiti appearing on public and private structures in town. The deputies are including foot patrols through local parks and other areas of concern as part of that increased presence.
Information from residents could help catch the vandals, explained Deputy Adam Hennen.
“If you see someone out of place or acting in a suspicious manner – especially after hours - please call the main dispatch number at (507) 328-6800,” asked Deputy Hennen. “We’d much rather stop illegal activity before it happens.”
He said the local School Resource Officer, Deputy Nate Jacobson is actively involved in the investigation, also.
Hennen said the graffiti doesn’t appear to be anything sinister such as gang-tagging. “It’s teen angst,” he remarked.
