VANDALISM: STOP the 'SWAG'
Baltimore County Police Department recommends neighborhood iWatch program online for non-emergencies that require a police presence in your community.
While driving around Lutherville-Timonium today I came across the above stop sign, or at least what I thought to be a stop sign.
Someone, likely over the weekend, spray painted the phrase "SWAG" over the red octagon. I thought to myself, do I call Precinct 7? Is there a dedicated number to call for non-emergencies? I certainly didn't want to dial 911 for a case of vandalism.
Now I have an answer.
