London police look for 'Zerx' graffiti artist
Police in London are hunting for a graffiti artist who they claim has caused more than one million pounds worth of damage in the city.
POLICE IN LONDON have started the hunt for a graffiti artist, who they claim has caused more than £1m in damages across the city.
Scotland Yard says it hopes that someone will have information about the author of the ‘Zerx’ tag, which has been signed prolifically in the Harrow, Brent and Westminister boroughs.
‘Zerx’ tags have also appeared in the London Underground system and the side of the Admirality building in Whitehall.
Detective Inspector Paul Armstrong said, “Using this type of graffiti not only looks very unsightly but can also cost councils, London Underground and members of the public a considerable amount of money to remove.
“This tag has been scrawled across residential homes as well as schools, sheltered accommodation and historical structures and I would appeal to anyone who has information about the person who is responsible for this to contact police.”
