Police say the graffiti tag 'No Digital ID' was found spray-painted on some of the property.
"Graffiti may be viewed by some as little more than an unsightly nuisance; however, it costs property owners and taxpayers dearly," OPP said.

He faces 13 counts of mischief, destroying or damaging property.
