Teen Arrested in Temecula Graffiti Vandalism Spree

An 18-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a string of graffiti vandalism cases across Temecula.
Deputies with the Southwest Sheriff’s Station served a search warrant Tuesday afternoon.
It followed multiple reports of vandalism starting June 11 along Temecula Parkway and inside Patricia Birdsall Park.
Investigators identified Declan Quinn Ryan as a person of interest after more graffiti was reported Monday.
That latest incident occurred in the 32400 block of Temecula Parkway.
Deputies say the search led to Ryan’s arrest around 1 p.m.
He was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism.
Authorities haven’t released what evidence was recovered.
Damage estimates from the graffiti are still being calculated.
