Midtown Mural Vandalized; Owner Trying To Find Person Responsible

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A mural in Midtown Sacramento was vandalized and the building's owner is trying to find the person responsible.

"The Wall" had been a popular target for graffiti before the mural was created. Now the $6,000 artwork is ruined and the owner wants to spread awareness to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.

"I spend about $1,500 a year having graffiti cleaned up, whether it's on this wall or the brick down there, so I thought the investment that I put in to having the mural put up, would eventually pay off," Lucky Crocker, president of Lucy & Company, said.

The art had been a popular photo destination and was featured in the Sacramento Police Department's K9 calendar.
