LOS ANGELES Less than 24 hours after city workers painted over graffiti in downtown Los Angeles, taggers blanketed the 2nd Street Tunnel again with more spray paint.

A video shared with FOX 11 from GraffTV1 shows dozens of taggers recently at the location.

“Within the same day, the same night, you just see a mob came through and started doing their thing,” said one tagger who wanted to remain anonymous. “Yeah, it’s wrong. You’d get in trouble, but it’s a stress reliever at the same time.”
