DO YOU recognise this tagger who has been caught on camera?
The brazen graffiti vandal was caught spray-painting on the wall in Lovers Walk, Brighton, at about 1.40am last Wednesday.
Police are asking anyone who recognises the graffiti vandal to come forward.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: “We are appealing for any information regarding this individual, who was caught vandalising an area in the city with graffiti.
Do you recognise thise tagger?
“If you saw what happened or have any other information that could help our investigation, please get in touch.
“Please do not share any names on social media, but contact us online here: http://orlo.uk/bvCqt or call 101.”
Councils can issue fixed penalty notices for graffiti to the value of £75.
However charges under the Criminal Damage Act carry much harsher punishments.
If the value of criminal damage exceeds £5,000, the maximum penalty for those aged 18 or over is 10 years’ imprisonment.
Where the damage is less than £5,000, the maximum sentence is three months’ imprisonment or a fine of £2,500.
