Sergeant Purvis said: “Following extensive work conducted by officers in relation to reports received of graffiti spray-painted on trains, a 20 year old man was arrested on suspicion of theft and various offences of criminal damage on Monday 22nd April.

"He was released on police bail pending further enquiries.

“Criminal damage such as the graffiti of train carriages causes a significant monetary loss in cleaning the trains, which impacts the numerous rail users who are dependent on this mode of transport as these carriages are removed from service.
