Details:

Over the last several months, there have been several incidents of graffiti at Orchard Park located at 5900 Festival Way, in the city of Eastvale, and the surrounding neighborhood near the park. Spray paint and markers were used to deface property at Orchard Park including the toys at the playground. Deputy Avila, who is assigned to patrol the parks in the city of Eastvale, began an investigation regarding the graffiti. After following up on several leads, Deputy Avila received information that a juvenile was seen at the Eastvale Community Center with graffiti on his backpack. The juvenile, who was a fourteen year old resident of Eastvale, was contacted while riding his bike. The juvenile’s backpack had graffiti on it which matched the graffiti at Orchard Park. The juvenile was detained and several pieces of evidence connecting him to the graffiti was located at his residence.

A second juvenile was identified during the investigation. The juvenile was a seventeen year old resident of Eastvale. After searching the juvenile’s residence, evidence was located linking the juvenile to the graffiti at Orchard Park and surrounding areas. Both juveniles were arrested for felony vandalism and released into the custody of their parents. The total amount of damage caused by the suspects was $9,192.24. The Jurupa Community Services District will be seeking reimbursement to repair the damage from the juvenile’s parents.

The investigation is ongoing and we’re asking anyone with information about this incident to contact Deputy Avila at the Jurupa Valley Station at 951-955-2600.
