Police are trying to catch London’s most prolific graffiti tagger – whose ‘Zerx’ tag has been sprayed across three boroughs and throughout the tube network.
Damage is estimated at over £1 million and police hope releasing an image of the ‘Zerx’ tag will lead to the arrest of the notorious vandal.
The tag has been sprayed prolifically across property in the North-West boroughs of Harrow, Brent and Westminster – plus sidings on the London Underground system.
The 'Zerx' tag also appeared on the side of the Admiralty building in Whitehall, following the disorder which took place at the student demonstrations in Central London in December last year.
Detective Inspector Paul Armstrong of the Specialist Crime Directorate said: “Using this type of graffiti not only looks very unsightly but can also cost councils, London Underground and members of the public a considerable amount of money to remove.
“This tag has been scrawled across residential homes as well as schools, sheltered accommodation and historical structures and I would appeal to anyone who has information about the person who is responsible for this to contact police.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 020 8246 0050 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
A 21 year-old man was arrested in January in connection with this investigation and bailed to return on a date in late October pending further enquiries.
