State police are looking for whoever sprayed gang-related images at JMS Recycling, located off South Center Avenue. The incident took place sometime between 4:30 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. Friday.
The investigator is being led to believe that the vandal or vandals are members of the Bloodz gang due to the images left at the scene, police said.
Members of the gang wear red bandanas on their arms, legs or forehead as well as red clothing, police said.
Similar images have been found on the south bridge at the Quemahoning Reservoir near Boswell, police said.
