A mother and daughter exit the Zellers main entrance where graffiti was found on the walls leading up to the store on Monday.

The Village Green Centre received an unwelcome paint job.

Security guards at the mall alerted Vernon RCMP  Saturday to 50 separate incidents of graffiti sprayed on the walls of  the mall.

The incident is believed to have taken place between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. Saturday.

“Several spray cans were recovered and the colours used in the vandalism are black, pink and red,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, adding that the graffiti appears to consist of the signatures “UDK” or “Carver.”

Vernon RCMP and Village Green Centre security are asking anybody with any information on the graffiti to call the Vernon detachment at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
