BHA To The Rescue!

A BHA board member was able to provide a license number from a home security camera that helped in the capture and arrest of the perpetrator who tagged a bunch of vehicles around Brentwood! 

Detectives are still investigating the crimes and others were involved. The tagger in one instance caught on camera did not leave his vehicle, but pulled up next to the victim's car and spray painted from his driver's side window.
