In an effort to combat the graffiti vandalism occurring in and around the downtown business district, the Pittsburg Downtown Advisory Board is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or person(s) responsible for spray painting graffiti and tagging buildings.

According to Chief of Police Brent Narges, “We appreciate the Downtown Advisory Board taking the initiative to offer this reward to help in identifying those responsible for spray painting graffiti in our downtown area.

"It is disappointing that with all the renovation going on throughout our City and especially the downtown area, someone would choose to vandalize buildings with graffiti.”

Anyone having information related to this incident or others is urged to contact the Pittsburg Police Department at (620) 231-1700 or on our TIPS Hotline (620) 231-TIPS (8477). Callers may remain anonymous.
