Graffiti pair stopped
12:58pm Wednesday 26th March 2008 in News By James Nadal
A GRAFFITI campaign which wreaked havoc in Denham has been put to an end, police have announced.
A pair of youths from Denham, aged 17, admitted that they had sprayed various derelict buildings, road signs and public toilets for several months until January 2008.
Some of the locations they targeted included Denham Cricket Club, Tilehouse Way and Martin Baker Sports and Social Club, Tilehouse Lane.
They were recently arrested after an investigation led by Neighbourhood Specialist Officer, PC Marcus Audoin.
PC Audoin said: "This pair have since admitted what they have done and have received a restorative justice caution. This sends out a very clear message that although it may seem harmless to those who do it, graffiti will not be tolerated."
Restorative justice allows victims to get an explanation from offenders and is designed to make them more accountable. It can involve making them remove graffiti or repair damaged property.
