NEW CASTLE COUNTY GRAFFITI CHARGES:

New Castle County police have warrants accusing two teenagers of defacing playground equipment on county parkland in Ogletown. Joshua Carter, 18, of the 200 block of Fieldstream Drive, and David Forbes, 18, of the first block of Lynch Farm Drive, are wanted on one count of graffiti each, Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said Wednesday. Neighbors saw three subjects walking from a car onto parkland off Garrett Road in Todd Estates on Monday, police said. An officer followed the smell of fresh paint in the playground area, where he found graffiti tags that read "Boom," "Yup," "Shamoo" and "4BZ." A vehicle found near the scene was not registered to its owner, so police had it towed. When Carter came to recover his car, the officer interviewed him, Navarro said.

Three Hockessin teens have been arrested for graffiti tagging throughout New Castle County, police said today.

The graffiti vandalism took place between March 31 and May 4.

State police charged Matthew J. Sutherland, 19, of Wyndam Circle, with 27 graffiti-related misdemeanor offenses and two felony counts of graffiti.

Sutherland tags under the name of “DANK,” police said.

He was released on $23,500 unsecured bail, state police spokesman Cpl. Jeff Whitmarsh said.

A 16-year-old Hockessin teen was arrested in the same investigation and charged with 23 misdemeanor graffiti-related offenses and four felony graffiti counts.

The teenager tags under the name of “HEDAK,” police said.

The teen, whose name is not being released because of his age, is being held in the Snowden Cottage on Centre Road.

On Tuesday, police arrested Michael Freccia, 18, of Bernard Boulevard, as part of the same investigation.

He surrendered on charges of two counts of felony graffiti and 18 misdemeanor graffiti offenses.

Freccia’s tag name is “EMAR,” Whitmarsh said.

He is awaiting notification from Family Court for an arraignment date.

Whitmarsh said county police were also instrumental in identifying the suspects.

The arrests are part of an on-going investigation by the New Castle County Anti-Graffiti Task Force.
