Teens looking for trouble are painting the town red this summer – and blue and pink and yellow – in a destructive pastime of defacing community property, leading the Gilroy Police Department and community volunteers to tackle what they have identified as a “surge” in graffiti over the last few months.

The Gilroy Chamber of Commerce last month honored a local volunteer who spends approximately 12 hours a week cleaning up graffiti and ripping down garage sale signs posted illegally on public property.
