16 Arrested In LA Graffiti Crackdown

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Tagging the taggers, Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies have arrested at least 16 people they suspect of causing more than $1 million in graffiti damage.

Authorities raided more than a dozen locations in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties before dawn on Thursday.

They arrested suspected members of a tagging crew called UPN -- short for "Your Property Next."

Deputy Devin Vanderlaan says those arrested for investigation of felony vandalism allegedly marked up buses, trains, and even an Olympic mural on a freeway.

Several of those arrested have previous tagging arrests.
