AN 18-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage with graffiti tags across Bristol.

The arrest follows our Avon and Somerset Police's pledge to crackdown on unsightly and nuisance tagging and graffiti in Bristol.  

PC Stuart King, who works in partnership with Bristol City Council to stop nuisance graffiti and tagging from costing home and business owners thousands of pounds, said: “If you have suffered damage to your property from graffiti and want to make a complaint of criminal damage then please contact me directly.

“We are keen to hear from anyone whose building or property may have been sprayed with the tag word 'Wash' as pictured above."
