POLICE BEAT: McKinley Elementary School playground vandalized
A juvenile gang sprayed graffiti on multiple sets of playground equipment at McKinley Elementary School late last month.
According to a Kansas City, Kan., Police Department police report appearing online today, the crime occurred at the school – 611 N. 14th Street – on Oct. 23. It was reported to police the morning of Oct. 26.
In recent weeks, the amount of gang-related graffiti incidents have increased around the downtown area of Kansas City, Kan.

Businesses tagged with graffiti near Park Drive, 18th Street
In recent days graffiti incidents have certainly picked up.
Most notably Wyandotte High School was hit with about $1,000 in damage, while a few other businesses around the area were hit. Also, police reports detailing graffiti incidents have picked up as well.
Now, today comes word of another "graffiti attack" of sorts.
I received a tip this morning that "several" businesses on Park Drive were hit in related graffiti incidents. Listening to the police scanner, an officer reporting near the area said businesses were hit on 18th Street.
No word yet on which businesses were targeted, but the activity is suspected to be gang-related early on.
New mural in Argentine vandalized by gang

The newly dedicated mural to the Kansas City Wizards in the Argentine neighborhood of Kansas City, Kan., was hit with gang-related graffiti earlier this week.
The mural was tagged with "SPV13," indicating a possible gang name or symbol.
Last week, students from New Stanley Elementary School and members of the Kansas City Wizards team helped complete the mural.
The graffiti hit was one of a few reported this week in KCK. Most notably, the exterior of Wyandotte High School had graffiti on it earlier this week. Both the school and mural are now removed of it.
