Resident calls for graffiti rewards

A Woy Woy resident is calling on local home owners and companies to contribute to rewards for catching and convicting graffiti artists.

The Mutu St resident said that several businesses and houses, including his own, were among the many people on the Peninsula affected by the seemingly random acts of vandalisation.

"It seems that nobody wants to do anything," the resident said.

"Owners need to call the police to stop this graffiti.

"Gosford Police station has its own graffiti expert," he said.

The resident said he was prepared to contribute to some kind of reward towards catching offenders, but wanted other residents and businesses to join the fight.

"These idiots must be drawn to the attention of the police," he said.

"We collectively need to lodge complaints or call the police assistance line."

"These idiots have no idea of the cost to remove this rubbish.

"They just want their stupid friends to see their stupid names up on a wall."

The resident said that of the people on the Peninsula he had spoken with, all were in favour of catching these people and punishing them.

"We need to put these people behind bars where they belong."
