Kansas City police say they are seeing an increase in incidents of vandals marring private property with spray-painted graffiti.

The incidents of “tagging” and property damage have occurred throughout the city, police said.

On Tuesday, police released surveillance photos of a car and three males they say were possibly involved in one such incident in midtown Kansas City.

The dark four-door car possibly has a Los Angeles Dodgers sticker on its rear window.

Anyone who has information about incidents of vandalism are asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
