Gang Graffiti Increases Around Town, On Schools, Homes And Township Property

gang graffiti lakewood high schoolPHOTOS: (in extended article) Gang-related Graffiti is becoming increasingly popular on the streets of Lakewood. What started off as sporadic ‘art-work’, has now become a common occurrence. Yesterday, TLS posted a photo of the side of a home with-now verified-Gang-related Graffiti. Today, a lot more Graffiti was found on resident’s homes, schools and on Street Signs belonging to the Township. “When you see one Gang-related Graffiti in an area, it usually follows by retaliatory acts by another Gang in the same area” an LPD Officer told a resident, whose property was damaged by the Graffiti. The “VL” sprayed on several fences and poles, pictured, are from the Gang ‘Vatos Locos’, a mostly Hispanic Gang which means ‘Crazy Guys’. The other Gang Graffiti pictured, “18”, is apparently the 18th Street Gang.

  1. Where was the LCSW while this was going on? They should be out chasing these hoodlums and free up the LPD to chase up the boychiks who create problems for the community.
    Get going LCSW, find these guys and like #1 says, throw some books at them!

  2. Time to stop renting out to low income. If you cant afford to rent a house in Lakewood without the govts help then dont move here. If you rent out houses check backgrounds get the real history of the person. If you dont rent to the dirt bags that are doing the crime you wont have any crime. Just what #5 said where was the LCSW if they are so much better than the police. Time to hire more police officers in Lakewood. At what point does a town become a city? If people would fill out the census forms right we would get more money from the govt to pay for more Police, EMS, and FD. Just my 2 cents worth. I know if you said how many people were actually living in a house you would be in trouble.

  3. I wonder if the inspection dept. will issue tickets to the school as they do to private property owners? Or is the law applied differently in our township.

  4. all these tzurus in the community is caused by the lack of tznius in the community PLEASE RABOISI STOP WITH THE SHORT SKIRTS AND TIGHT TOPS ITS ASSUR TO DRESS THE WAY PPL DO HERE…………………… HASHEM HELP US BE NIZHAR…….

  5. #10 get a grip its the slumlords bringing this element to town, not skirts levels. It’s not the skirt thats renting to these undesirables, it’s the slumlords The slumlords only care about their pockets. They are not living amongst the little people in this town. Blame the committee too for encouraging the illegal activity. Build another muster zone. Keep bringing in the undocumented who have no accoutability. You might as well build a so called statue of liberty and put it up in the center of town and welcome this element. Just think, if your seeing gang activity in the open, what your not seeing in the dark of night.

  6. Although I agree that there has been a slackening in Tznius matters,can you tell me what the heck does it got to do with graffiti?!?!?!

  7. Those Investors always cry its my parnassa! Boo hoo! But they diregard the damage caused to our town crime and service wise. They are indirectly robbing us! Some of them have business which we patronage. Maybe we should make a list of those and stop patronizing them! I know what my neighbors slumlord does…….

  8. why do you blame graffti for any of this the only reason yall blame graffiti or taggers is because yall cant catch the gang members that are doing the crime graffiti aint a crime itz art so stop blaming art and start looking for the gang members that are really the dangerous ones
