Police discovered that the women had drawn pumpkins and painted several words on the concrete bunkers, including one of their names and the F-word.

Rachael Rose, 24, of Kingston, Sierra Lucas, 23, of Middleboro, and Tayla Charlebois, 20, of Middleboro admitted to causing the damage and were arrested and charged with vandalizing property, according to Hull Police Chief John Dunn, who said his department is cracking down on vandals at the park.

At about 12:40 p.m., a Telegraph Hill neighbor called police to report seeing three women with spray paint. According to a report filed by Officer Daniel Dunn, the women at first told officers they “were going to” paint the walls of the fort, but had not done so. After being questioned, one of the women opened her backpack and showed the officers three cans of paint and four markers, and the trio admitted to the vandalism.

The three women are due in court on Dec. 6.

“The Hull Police Department would once again like to reiterate that we have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone found to be vandalizing Fort Revere Park,” Dunn said in a statement. “The park is a community space that is open and welcome to all, however, that does not mean people are allowed or should be defacing the property. Anyone discovered to be vandalizing the park and its bunkers will be arrested and charged.”
