GRAFFITI - THERE'S A LOT OF IT ABOUT

At our next meeting in August we will be updating you all on some success stories regarding graffiti offenders that have used Oxenford as a canvas.  

It was great to read in a recent email received from Sgt Barry Wellington (the one man graffiti-busting 'cell' who spoke at our November 2009 meeting) that in the last 3 weeks Barry  has 'pinched'  4 individuals for 59 graffiti - they were apprehended in the Oxenford area and offences range from  Gaven to Yatala. Barry also seized their video camera containing  footage of them offending. He has further caught 2 more, on 61 charges ranging from Robina to Yeerongapilly. All are currently  before  the court and we should have a result at the time of your next meeting.

If you have any information regarding who might be responsible for the graffiti in Oxenford (or anywhere else on the Gold Coast for that matter) please consider posting this information anonymously at http://www.crimestoppers.com.au/ - Crimestoppers want to know what you know - not who you are.

Every bit of information helps and adds a piece to the jigsaw.
