Spy cameras could be used in a bid to catch graffiti criminals in action.

The warning comes after attacks on properties and vehicles in Shoreham.

A car left in Pond Road had the word "dreds" sprayed on both sides and the word "sorry" across the passenger side window on Monday night.

A building in Mill Lane had also been daubed by graffiti vandals a few days earlier.

Inspector Paul Amoo, of Adur sector, said: "Graffiti is a very anti-social activity, which creates a fear of crime for residents.

"We will do all we can to catch those responsible and this will include the use of covert cameras if necessary."
