Furious and ashamed parents report Riverwalk vandals to the authorities

UPDATED at 7:45 p.m. to add parents have identified the vandals.

Within an hour of the photographs of the two young suspects circulating on social media, the police reported a swift turn of events: “the very angry and embarrassed parents of the suspects contacted BPD and rounded up their sons to turn them in.” This quick response highlights the community’s involvement in addressing local crime.

According to law enforcement, surveillance footage captured the incident around 6:30 p.m. The video showed instances of graffiti along with explicit language—details not publicly shared—and what the department amusingly described as “impressionist human body part art.” Such creative expressions, although unsanctioned, certainly added an unusual twist to the ongoing vandalism investigation.

Moreover, the police suggested that the culprits, aptly dubbed “the Picassos,” might have continued their spree, as they also allegedly decorated the skate park’s concrete pillars with their art. This suggests a disregard for property, pushing the playful nature of their ‘artistry’ into the realm of criminal mischief.

As a result, the two suspects will face charges of criminal mischief, according to an update from the police department on Facebook.
