Taggers Hit Pop Shop Window Monday
The gray-and-gold graffiti read "CMD" and "NIG" with a picture of a face. Police have no suspects at this time, and the paint came off with bleach.
Staff at The Pop Shop came into work Monday morning only to discover that its front window had been vandalized overnight.
Done in gray and gold, the graffiti depicts a face with the eyes crossed out, the letters "CMD" appear twice, as do the letters "NIG."
Everything came off with some bleach, said owner Connie Correia Fisher.Â
