(Dalton Police Department)The Dalton Police Department is investigating a recent rash of graffiti "tagging" on buildings in the East Dalton area. Investigators are asking the public for information about what the tags might mean and who is responsible for the vandalism, according to a news release.
The tags have shown up in recent weeks on old storefronts and building walls in the area of Fifth Avenue and Long Street. Investigators believe the tags are intended to be artistic in nature.
