GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- The Green Bay community has seen an influx of graffiti complaints since March, Green Bay Police said Thursday. Some of the graffiti appears to reference coronavirus.

"In a 24 hour span from March 14th to the 15th, there have been 12 cases of the 32 that were reported," police stated in a news release.
