A Police Community Support Officer told a meeting of Keswick Town Council that those responsible for vandalising properties in the town with graffiti would be caught.
It comes after graffiti scrawling vandals left their mark on the newly-refurbished PUPS shelter, near the war memorial, and at the rear of the town’s bus station.
PCSO Liam Forrester said that officers were fully aware of the graffiti problems the town was experiencing which some people were calling an epidemic.
“We will identify them and find out who it is,” he said. “It may not be now but we are working with businesses and the scout hut to get CCTV. We will find some deterrent.”
He also said that officers were looking into instances of anti-social behaviour at the junction of Leonard Street and Helvellyn Street and said that vehicles badly and dangerously parked on the B5289 had been ticketed in recent weeks.
