DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – In East Dallas, the Fitzhugh Ave. gates to the Swiss Avenue Historic District are in need a good scrubbing after taggers sprayed the entrance with graffiti early this morning.

Gaye Jackson is Vice President of the neighborhood organization. She says they have off-duty police officers working security, but may consider adding more when the Swiss Avenue Historic District has its next meeting.

Jackson says vandals also defaced the Swiss Avenue gates with graffiti about a year ago.
