MANCHESTER, NH – Two men have been charged – one still sought by police, the other already incarcerated on unrelated charges – for felony-level vandalism after they were linked to a graffiti investigation.

Officer Casey Seigle of the Community Policing Division has been tasked with identifying those responsible for tagging areas throughout the Queen City. He prepared an arrest warrant for a Sandown resident who is currently incarcerated in the State of New Hampshire prison system for unrelated offenses.

“Size” tags around the city and on the highway led police to issue a warrant for the arrest of Michael Luccesi.

Officer Seigle, with the help of Officers Brian Gillotte and Michael Roscoe, identified Michael Luccesi, 38, as one of the persons responsible for a specific tag. He located Luccesi’s tag “SIZE” on four separate Manchester properties, as well as several sound walls located on Interstate 293. The estimated damage exceeds $10,00 based on costs associated with removing the graffiti.

Luccesi was booked in absentia from prison on August 30, 2017 on a felony-level criminal mischief charge. He was arraigned from New Hampshire State Prison earlier today.

Officer Seigle prepared a separate arrest warrant for Nicholas Ramalho, 20,  no fixed address, for damage caused to multiple Manchester dwellings, highway abutments and sound walls. He caused almost $6,000-worth of damage, according to the investigation, so an arrest warrant for criminal mischief (two counts) and conspiracy to commit criminal mischief has been issued.
