A slew of vandalism incidents has recently hit Alexandria, evoking concerns among some residents about potential gang activity in the city.
Last week, residents in Potomac Greens and Old Town reported similar details about incidents involving the marking up of property, all of which seemingly targeted homes with a one or an eight in the address.
In one post to the social networking site Nextdoor, where neighbors buy and sell items as well as share tips among other community members, a video shows a man, who appears to be in his 20s with dark hair, scratching out the number 18 in a townhome. Another post shows a photo with black symbols on a home’s street number and another covering a sign with the words “Mara Salvatucha,” which is associated with MS13, an international criminal organization with a presence in the region.

Taieri Mouth resident Lawrence Clark raced to the scene on his jet-ski following a phone call from a neighbour.
By the time he arrived, four of the family members had already been helped ashore by surfers, but one was still missing. I could see three surfers on surfboards back at the boat.
