A MAN has been arrested in connection with a series of graffiti attacks across Middlewich.

The man, who is from the Cledford area of Middlewich, was arrested this morning (Tuesday) by officers from Middlewich Community Action Team.

Sergeant Penny Jones said: “We have been carrying out an investigation into these incidents of criminal damage which appeared across a wide area of the town centre over the past two months.

“It has caused a great deal of concern among some local business people and local residents and has cost thousands of pounds to clean up.”

Over the past few months graffiti stencils of animals and objects have appeared on buildings across the town.
