Two youngsters are being given a chance to make amends — and forgo a day in court — after being caught spraying graffiti on a Glenmerry business.
Saturday near noon (Oct. 28), a Trail man called police to report that he had caught two youth allegedly spray painting graffiti onto the wall of his business in the 3000 block of Highway Drive, in Trail.
This was the second time the man’s property had been spray painted in a short amount of time.
An officer attended the scene and arrested both youth for mischief under $5,000.
Guardians of the youth were contacted and attended.
Rather than pursue criminal charges, the business owner showed compassion and made an agreement with the youth.
He asked them to paint over the damaged door and replace some decals that had been damaged by spray paint, which they agreed to do.
“We appreciate the business owner’s response, and hope the two youth realize how lucky they are to being given a second chance and make amends,” says Sgt. Wicentowich.
