Police arrest graffiti culprits overnight in Newcastle

BY JESSICA ROUSE

Police have arrested six men in Newcastle overnight after they were allegedly caught breaking into a building on Hunter Street and spraying graffiti.

Police were called to the scene just after midnight where they found the men on the roof of a building spray painting the building adjacent with graffiti.

A 17-year-old man was among those arrested as well as a 26, 25, 28, 18 and a 38-year-old.

All six offenders were granted strict conditional bail and charged with malicious damage and trespass charges.

They'll face Newcastle Local Court at a later date.
