‘Elderly’ men caught on camera tagging cars with smiley faces
https://www.brightonandhovenews.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Bear-Road-graffiti.mp4

Two apparently elderly men, one walking with a stick, were caught on camera tagging cars in Brighton.

The pair were filmed by a doorbell camera walking along Bear Road in the early hours of last Thursday morning.

One pauses briefly to take out a spray can and tag a car with a smiley face.

The following morning, the same tag was found no several cars and walls in the area.

Sussex Police confirmed a report had been made to them on Thursday.

    I’m surprised that the car’s owners haven’t received threatening letters from Brighton Council telling them to get their cars re-sprayed immediately or face a £100 fine…

    I’d put money on it its the guys who are always down the level tagging everything. They’ve tagged all the benches and some lamp posts and buildings up lewes Rd to sainsburys which is where i think one of them lives
