STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. – Stafford deputies on Tuesday were called to the area of the Brooke Point Commuter Lot at the Brooke Virginia Railway Express station on Brooke Road in to find graffiti spray painted on signs.

About eight to 10 signs were spray painted, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

Further south on Brooke Road at a business near Potomac Creek, more graffiti was found in the form of curse words that had been spray painted on a building.

Black spray paint was used in both instances, and both incidents are related, said Kennedy.

Also on Tuesday, deputies were called to a home in the 600 block of Rocky Run Road in south Stafford for to find jewelry missing from a home. The homeowners said they came home to find a door kicked in and items like rings, earrings, and necklaces missing from the house.
