A man has been arrested as part of an investigation into graffiti in Bradley Stoke, Little Stoke, Patchway and Stoke Gifford.

Tags have been found on electricity substations and bus shelters.

A man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in Hayes Way, Patchway, just after 1am on Sunday 25th February after patrolling officers came across fresh graffiti. He was later released under investigation while our enquiries continue.

Anyone with information which could help the investigation is asked to get in touch online, or by calling 101, quoting reference 5218042426. Alternatively, ring the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They never ask your name or trace your call.

A police spokesperson added:

“If you witness someone causing this sort of damage, please call us straight away. It’s 999 if they’re still in the area, otherwise ring 101.”
