The Montclair Village Association is advocating for the prosecution of two teens who vandalized a mural, emphasizing the importance of community investments in surveillance for crime prevention.
MVA Executive Director Daniel Swafford stresses the need for police follow-up on the vandalism incident, asserting that it should not be overlooked and is indeed a felony.
Cameras clearly captured the incident, revealing the suspects' actions and identities, leading Swafford to insist that these community investments in security must yield accountability.
The mural celebrates local nature and was funded by community members, highlighting the emotional and cultural loss due to the vandalism, alongside the monetary damage for repairs.
