What a waste of Police time.

I wonder if it's anyone well known, eg Ghostboy, Cyclops, or Nick Walker?

EDIT actually it won't be Nick Walker, he's too old.

Always the easy targets.
They've gotta have better things to do.

'spose if other (criminals) went round and left their names at the scene of the crime the old bill would get as result there as well

exactly - easy target


brilliant use of time - i mean this country is completely devoid of illegals , benefit cheats , murderers, kiddy fiddlers and murders is'nt it

So proud to be English it hurts

Worst offenders are usually British Transport Police acting on behalf of the railways who don't appreciate writers decorating their property. Thankfully the BTP are at the best a tad ineffective when it comes acting within the proceedural boudaries of the law and codes of conduct and many of these 'operations' are kicked into touch at an early stage allowing artists to get on with the job of brightening up our streets and railways!

got pulled by the Transport Police when i was a nipper - PRICKS -handed me over to the locals - they called my mum at 2am - not a nice way to awaken her - i was in a world of shit.

wish i'd at least learned a lesson from it

can still remember one of the fat fuckers... "go on son - do a runner - make my night, we'll have you!" wish i would have done. PRICKS!

Excellent... joining the 'free kreky' facebook group worked!

i am doing my dissertation on graff at the mo so thanks for the link, il try to use it in my research! i love graff but there is another side to it that has to be considered so dont take this at face value.

i know a graffiti removal officer for the police and i totally understand where he is coming from in regards to graff removal. he himself said he loved banksys work and thinks that many writers work and their control of a spray can is to be admired. but the graff he has to remove and the arrests he has to make are beacuse of graff which is only to cause vandalism sprayed only on small businesses, peoples houses and other private property. obviously i dont know the whole story in this case but it is likely to be along the same lines. i think you will find that arrests are beacuse these writers have targeted private propery, maybe houses and or their graff is racist in some way, it is less likely that they are the new banksys of this world. although i may be wrong.

and in response to comments about them "having anything better to do" it has been proven that in many boroughs of london the locals are most concerned about graff rather than muggings or car crime etc. graff is often seen as an eye sore and locals are worried about it. i personally like to see it but when i see someones small business with tags all over their window which they are unable to removal due to lack of funds i feel sort of discusted!

Think their work was quite nice. Like Eines stuff on shop shutters but without using letters, very colourfull.

in that case those arrests suck!
