Graffiti VandalismMy fellow POTC residence, Once again we have been hit with a plague of Graffiti Vandalism, including fences, walls, mailboxes and now the sign to the front entrance of our community. Your POTC HOA is offering a $200 reward for information leading to the identity and prosecution of the vandal(s). They are not only costing your neighbors and friends money to repair the damage inflicted, but in defacing the mailboxes they are committing a Federal Crime as these are part of the US Postal System. Please spread the word, keep your eyes open and report any suspicious activity, especially on the weekend. Please contact, Kyle Police Department, at (512) 268-3232 with information on this offense. Advise the dispatcher you would like to speak to an on-duty patrol officer about information on graffiti in Prairie on the Creek subdivision. Your identity will remain anonymous.
