Report graffiti

Tagging is images or lettering which are painted, drawn, scrawled or scratched - or any form of marking on property that does not belong to the person carrying out this activity.

Tagging is a crime, if you see someone in the act of tagging, call 111. Get as many facts as you can that will assist Police in locating the offender:

• Physical description of the offender.
• Description of the tagging (such as paint, words, colour).
• Record vehicle number plates and descriptions.
• Take photographs that clearly show the tagging.

Tagbusters will only remove tagging from fences or areas that can be seen from the road or a public space.

Avoid being a target

There are some things you can do to protect yourself and your community:

• Paint your fences and walls in dark colours that will cover in one coat, unpainted fences are a great target for taggers.
• Plant small trees or shrubs along fence lines to minimise surfaces that can be vandalised.
• Remove tagging as soon as it appears.
• Join a Neighbourhood Support Group.
