|
West Hartford Police have arrested a local man in connection with a recent string of vandalism.
David Mello, 20, of 51 Ridgewood Road was arrested early Tuesday morning in the area of Albany Avenue and Steele Road with a can of spray paint in his back pocket, police said. Mello is accused of spray painting several traffic boxes with the pseudonym "MANTRA" and "KNOX ONE."
Authorities say the words have been spray painted on traffic boxes, street signs, and other structures on public and private property in the south end of West Hartford and neighboring communities over about the last three weeks.
Mello is charged with four counts of third-degree criminal mischief. His bond was set at $25,000.
