Thibodaux Police officers have been noticing what they call “wild style graffiti” around the city.

Capt. Kyle Cressione of the Thibodaux Police Department said the graffiti, called tags, is believed to by mirrored off the old New York style that can easily be found online.

A majority of the graffiti is found in the Downtown Thibodaux area and mentions the words: “Be Simple”, “Crawl 168” and “Smile.”

Thibodaux Police officers are actively investigating the case by talking to people in the downtown area, requesting that people keep their eyes open to any suspicious activities involving paint.

There are currently no suspects, but high schools and colleges around the area with art classes have been contacted to discover if any students are known for a style of artwork that is similar to the tags.

“We are hoping for help from the public,” Cressione said.

To report information concerning the recent tagging, contact Capt. Kyle Cressione at (985) 446-5021 or Lt. Steve Tullis at (985) 448- 4751.
