Dixon’s police chief is asking for the public’s assistance to find out who has been vandalizing areas with spray paint.

The city of Dixon has experienced a series of vandalism incidents over the past month involving individuals spray-painting property in multiple areas throughout the community, Dixon Police Chief Ryan Bivins wrote in a news release issued Wednesday.

He said that two of the most notable locations are the Berlin Wall replica at the intersection of South Galena Avenue and East Second Street, and the newly constructed walking bridge that is part of Project Rock.

“It is unfortunate that this type of damage to public property is occurring within our community,” Bivins said. “We take these incidents seriously and are actively investigating the vandalism.”
