When the Road Runner and other cartoon characters first appeared on Conimicut Village buildings, they were so good that some people thought an artist had been commissioned to paint them. But that’s not the case. As good as they may be, it is graffiti that has become more prolific in recent months, not only on village buildings but also on seawalls. Ginny Barham, president of the Conimicut Village Association, announced last week the association is offering a $150 reward to information leading to an arrest. That reward has now been upped to $500 thanks to another $350 being pledged by an anonymous donor. Community police officer Daniel Maggiacomo has vowed to track down the “artist[s]” and has turned to social media in his search. Barham is hopeful whoever is responsible is identified so that they can clean it up. Anyone with information is asked to contact Maggiacomo at daniel.maggiacomo@warwickri.com. (Warwick Beacon photos)
