At least eight buildings in Downtown Batavia were tagged with graffiti some time since later yesterday evening, according to police.
The police report doesn't specify which buildings, but the building owners were notified that police officers spotted the graffiti sometime around 2 a.m.
There has been a little tagging of downtown buildings in the past, but this new tagging does not match the previous words/symbols left.
Chief Randy Baker said the police officer wasn't even sure what the message of the tags were.
Baker suggested that anybody who is downtown after dark call police and report any suspicious activity around buildings.
UPDATE: Downtown property owner Ken Mistler is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the tagger.

It couldn't possibly be the street gangs. I mean after all the police said there are no gangs in Batavia.

Consult from a more knowledgeable experienced sources. I'm assuming that both Buffalo & Rochester have a "gang task force" if not then another perhaps NYC or Philli ?
