The law enforcement presence was beefed up at Goleta's San Marcos High School this week in the wake of graffit threats of violence

There have been more graffiti messages threatening violence at a South Coast high school, but no problems were reported.

A message discovered in a girls bathroom on Wednesday at San Marcos High School claimed there would be violence Friday. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office had extra officers around campus this week as a precaution.

Three additional graffiti threats were discovered in the boys locker room on Friday. Detectives don’t think the same person was responsible for the latest incident.
