Six young vandals were recently busted for a nearly month-long graffiti spree spent tagging buildings around the city of Fort Collins.

Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) identified six juveniles responsible for the downtown graffiti, which resulted in about $12,000 worth of property damage.

The graffiti-tagging spree took place over the course of three and a half weeks in Old Town. Several locations were defaced with graffiti including the Northside Aztlan Center and Rolland Moore Park.
