The Oshkosh Police Department has identified the two juvenile suspects responsible for vandalizing the restrooms at South Park last week at 1210 Georgia St.
The suspects, both female, were referred to the District Attorney’s Office Sept. 30 for two counts of criminal damage to property after causing significant damage to the restrooms.
“We extend our gratitude to the community for their assistance in this matter, helping us to keep our parks safe and clean for everyone,” an OPD press release said.
According to OPD, the two suspects were caught last week on the park’s video surveillance cameras covering the walls, floors, sinks and toilets with graffiti, which the city estimates will cost several thousands of dollars to repair.
OPD reminded citizens to report any suspicious activity around South Park in a press release.
“Parks are meant to enhance the quality of life for everyone in our community — a place where people can enjoy nature, relax and create long lasting memories,” an OPD press release said. “We strongly urge parents to remind children to be respectful of property, and that repairs to fix damaged items can be very costly. By working together, we can help prevent damage to our parks.”
