GARFIELD -- City police on Wednesday asked for the public's help in identifying two males they said stole spray paint and used it to vandalize school district property.
Police on Sept. 3 discovered graffiti at the Board of Education building at Passaic Street and Marsellus Place, Capt. Darren Sucorowski said in a statement. Officers found a construction tarp at the building defaced with tags, including "MASTO," "IKC" and "LA."
The two suspects shoplifted the paint from the Passaic Street Walmart store around 2:15 a.m. and committed the vandalism about 15 minutes later, according to Sucorowski.
City officials offered a $100 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the pair, police said.
Anyone with information was asked to call Sgt. John Lesica at 973-478-8500, ext. 4140.
