Man ordered to remove graffiti after being caught vandalising tram stops and bus shelters in Fleetwood

Police were shown footage of a suspect after being made aware of a man who was damaging tram stops and bus shelters in Fleetwood.

Eagle-eyed PCSO Ben Jones saw the man a short time later while on patrol.

The man was formally identified and admitted to the offences.

He was given a community resolution, part of which involved him personally cleaning the bus shelters and removing the graffiti.

What is a community resolution?

A community resolution is a way of dealing with an offender which is proportionate to lower level crime.

It can be offered when the offender admits an offence, in most cases, where the victim has agreed that they do not want more formal action taken.
