The Third Precinct Crime Section conducted an investigation into the graffiti group WDS, which stands for "We Destroy Streets," and DTB, which stands for "Down to Bomb." This investigation was in response to an increase in graffiti in Bay Shore, Brentwood, East Islip, and Deer Park. The First Precinct Crime Section Unit conducted a similar investigation in Deer Park. Both units contributed to each others investigations. Among the locations vandalized were the Brentwood American Legion, overpasses on Sunrise Highway and the Southern State, the American Veterans Association in Bay Shore, the El Salvadorian Consulate in Brentwood, the Brentwood Memorial Cemetery and numerous other businesses and residences. The First and Third Precinct Crime Sections are still actively investigating other incidents of graffiti in these areas. This quality of life issue is a priority in Suffolk County due to the negative impact it has on the local communities. These subjects were arrested and charged with Making Graffiti, a class A misdemeanor and released on bail. They will be arraigned at First District Court at later dates.
