YOUTHS who have owned up to spraying graffiti have been cleaning off their handy work this week.

A group of teenagers have removed their graffiti in Cumnor Village, Botley, Hinksey and Dean Court.

Police have been working to find those responsible for increased graffiti in the area and seven teenagers had admitted various offences of criminal damage caused by their graffiti.

Sgt Darren Price said: "This is great for the community because the graffiti will be removed.

"It is also good for the young people involved because it will teach them about why it is wrong."
