Wake Forest’s greenways are quiet places filled with nature’s beauty, but last weekend vandals spray-painted pictures on the Sanford Creek Greenway’s trails and sign that Town Manager Kip Padgett called “so vulgar and grotesque” photographs of the damage had to be blurred.
Wake Forest Police believe the vandalism took place between 9 p.m. Saturday, July 14, and 7 a.m. Sunday, July 15.
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources and maintenance crews have temporarily covered the graffiti. Officials say its permanent removal, along with new signage, will likely cost the Town anywhere from $2,000-$3,000.
The Wake Forest Police Department relies on the own’s citizens to be its eyes and ears. Anyone with information that might assist the investigation of the incident is urged to call the Police Department at 919-554-6150. You may remain anonymous.
