Tagging incidents under investigation

Graffiti has been spray-painted in several areas of Sisters in recent days and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office is “actively trying to figure out who is doing it,” according to spokesman Sgt. William Bailey.

The bridge over Whychus Creek in the Timber Creek subdivision was “tagged” about a week ago, and over the past couple of days, there has been graffiti at Village Green Park and on road signs along Highway 242 west of Sisters.

It is unknown if there is a single perpetrator or multiple perpetrators.

Sgt. Bailey encourages anyone who has information or who witnesses suspicious activity to contact authorities as quickly as possible so that deputies can contact any potential subjects. Anyone who has damage to property should contact authorities as soon as possible. Citizens have noted that Sisters municipal code has a curfew for minors from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., which is enforceable by the sheriff’s office.

Central Oregon’s non-emergency dispatch number is 541-693-6911. The sheriff’s office also has a reporting page at https://sheriff.deschutes.org/community/crime-prevention/reporting-graffiti/
