Name that tag
Police are appealing for witnesses after numerous graffiti tags
have started to appear on walls and fences in North Weald.
PCSO Lizal Scott said: "I have been speaking to local residents who
say more and more of these tags are starting to appear.
"The
area we have found the most tags in is Pike Way. It is such a shame
as it is a lovely place. Graffiti tags often make areas
appear run down.
"These youths, who we believe are local, may just think they were
having a bit of fun, but these residents are now faced with the
hassle of removing the graffiti, which can be costly.
"A lot of people work hard to make this community nice, and
graffiti just blights it. If you know who these tags belongs to, or
you saw who did this, we want to hear from you so they can be made
to face the consequences of their actions.
"Each tag of graffiti could be classed as a separate crime,
therefore when we find the people responsible, if they have marked
their tag in many different places they could face multiple
criminal damage charges.
"Help us reduce graffiti, do you know someone that covers their
books in graffiti markings or signs in a similar tag? We want to
hear from you."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PCSO Lizal Scott at
Epping police station on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800
555 111.
