A Gwinnett County city is using high-tech cameras to help crack down on graffiti that keeps showing up in their downtown square.
Graffiti has been showing up in a parking garage at the Peachtree Corners town center and at The Forum shopping center across the street.
City leaders want to do more than clean it up, they want to make sure it stops for good before it leads to anything else.
“If you intervene and say, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ you never know the response from the people that are doing that,” said Edward Restrepo, who is the new chief marshal for the city.
“We have a lot of hats I guess you could say,” Restrepo said.
His team works with Gwinnett County police to tackle crime and quality of life issues.
Restrepo told Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson that he’s made adding sophisticated cameras to the town center a priority after a rise in vandalism there and at The Forum shopping center.
