Two children have admitted being responsible for an outbreak of graffiti in Knaresborough.

Graffiti appeared throughout the town early this month, including on Knaresborough House and on High Bond End and Boroughbridge Road.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said today:

"Following enquiries, those who were responsible for the graffiti — two children aged 14 and 15 — have been identified and have taken responsibility.
"They have agreed to a community resolution disposal and will be taking part in removing the graffiti and will be receiving an appropriate educational and restorative input to teach them about impact of graffiti on the community and local businesses."


Community resolution disposals are usually issued to remorseful first-time offenders and do not constitute a criminal record.

The clerk of Knaresborough Town Council told the Stray Ferret it had been "very concerned about the amount of graffiti" that had appeared recently.

The clerk said individual councillors had been trying to tackle the problem with the help of CCTV, adding:

"Knaresborough Town Council is currently asking for more CCTV coverage behind Knaresborough House."


She added the mayor, Cllr Kathryn Davies recently organised a drop-in session with the police on Stockwell estate following reports of anti social behaviour in that area.
