South Holland District Council to tackle graffiti in Spalding by offering £500 reward

South Holland District Council have announced that they will offer a reward of £500 for information which leads to the successful prosecution of the culprit responsible for the rampant increase in graffiti in Spalding.

In a joint venture between the Council and Lincolnshire Police, the aim is to encourage residents to come forward and help narrow down the search for the individual responsible for a host of graffiti which has been springing up in Spalding over the last few months.

The Council’s Community Safety team, alongside the Police have been investigating the incidents as part of their zero-tolerance approach to graffiti and believe the similar sign/tag could be the result of a single individual.

Unfortunately, it has not been possible to identify a suspect as yet, and as a result the Council is now looking to enlist the help of residents to help track down the individual responsible.

Councillor Anthony Casson, Portfolio Holder for Public Protection, said: “I fully support this new initiative to help both our Community Safety team and our colleagues at Lincolnshire Police in gather vital information which will help us find the person responsible.

“As a Council we have a zero-tolerance approach to graffiti which degrades our towns and villages across the District. Our Officers work hard to get it cleaned up wherever possible, but this reward will help us catch one of the most prolific offenders in the local area and send a clear message – we won’t stand for graffiti here in South Holland.”

Sergeant Corder from the South Holland Neighbourhood Policing Team states: “We welcome any information about those responsible for localised graffiti.

“We recognise that graffiti is impacting the wider community and as part of the South Holland Policing Plan our aim is to tackle anti-social behaviour.

“We will continue to work alongside our partners at South Holland District Council to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“Lincolnshire Police are taking this seriously and will pursue all lines of enquiry.”

A resident who provides information that results in a successful prosecution of the culprit will receive a £500 reward.

To provide information which may assist the enquiry, please contact Lincolnshire Police on 101.
