FCA Statement on Recent Acts of Vandalism
Dear Fairlingtonians –
FCA would like to acknowledge the recent acts of vandalism in our neighborhood. We understand your concerns and take this seriously. FCA has spoken to the Arlington County Police Department (ACPD). We’ve learned that the Department of Environmental Services (DES) has been notified. ACPD did take a report on the graffiti on the bridge/395 overpass. ACPD cautions the public not to engage with someone you think is committing vandalism or defacing property. Instead, you can call the police at 703-558-2222 or file an online report. Before you call or make a report, ACPD recommends being aware of your surroundings, noting details like license plates and physical descriptions, location, etc., to help with the report. FCA is coordinating with ACPD to host some type of virtual outreach for our community. We will provide details once confirmed.
