We’ve previously reported on MTA’s huge bomb on the banks of the LA River, and now it seems that the city, along with the Army, are removing the 800 meter long enormous tag at a cost that reaches millions of dollars.
Police Arrest MTA Members
Last week, seven members of Los Angeles’ most infamous graffiti crew, MTA (Metro Transit Assassins) were arrested. They’re biggest work is a half-mile long MTA tag along the banks of the Los Angeles river. They are also responsible for over 1000 tags throughout Los Angeles. Among the members arrested was Smear, a well-known artist who has exhibited in galleries as well. The MTA is not your average group of snotty-nosed taggers. At the time of their arrest, one member drove a $60, 000 BMW, and another wore a diamond and ruby encrusted pendant valued at $27, 000.
