Thus, a local ordinance now bans the sale of spray paint and wide-tipped markers used in graffiti to anyone under 18 unless accompanied by an adult.
Grayslake is not alone in the move. Several suburbs – neighboring villages – are enacting similar bans, the Daily Herald reported.
Although other village officials think the ban is necessary, some find it sad that Grayslake and the other towns have to come to this, the newspaper reported.
