It asks for the public's help to stay vigilant, and if you see anyone vandalizing or dumping trash in the area, call local police or contact them at (928) 373-5197.
Yuma Crossing says not to handle the situation independently but rather inform them to stop the issue. As a result of the graffiti, it's damaged the informative panels that share history, facts, and other information.
