Elusive Graffiti Artist Admits Spree


A notorious graffiti ‘tagger’ who caused £100,000 worth of damage to trains and a sports ground in South-East London admitted his spree.

Ishak Hussain, 19, of Steiner Street, Accrington, Lancashire covered train carriages in his ‘ENDA’ tag after sneaking into a train depot in Grove Park.

He pleaded guilty at Blackfriars Crown Court to seventeen charges of causing criminal damage to South Eastern trains on various dates between January 11 and October 12, last year.

He also pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage to walls and benches at Beckenham Hill Railway Station on New Year’s Eve, last year and a railway bridge near the station between March 1 2010 and March 30, this year.

Hussain also admitted causing criminal damage to a Powerleague club in Canadian Avenue, Catford on February 15, last year.

He has already pleaded guilty to a separate arson charge and will be sentenced for all offences at Woolwich Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
