Dozens of surveillance cameras used to track graffiti suspect, Manchester police say
Manchester police say they used footage from more than two dozen security cameras to track down and arrest an Allenstown man accused of spray-painting racist graffiti at a local coffee shop.
Tyler Inman, 20, of Allenstown, was arrested last week and charged with criminal mischief and falsifying physical evidence.
Authorities allege that Inman spray-painted racist graffiti at The Moka Pot coffee shop roughly two weeks ago and later tried to alter the appearance of his vehicle to evade detection.
Investigators pieced together data from surveillance cameras to map Inman's movements. Police said the cameras tracked him from where he parked his car to The Moka Pot and back home to Allenstown.
