Reporting Vandalism and Graffiti

When reporting vandalism to 101, the 101 advisor will need details of the nature of the vandalism; do you believe there to be an immediate danger to the public as a result of the vandalism, for example is there glass on the floor, or has the act exposed electric wires; do you know who might be responsible for the vandalism - names, address, or just a description of those who you believe to be responsible.
If the act of vandalism is happening now, police will be deployed as a matter of priority. However, if the act has already taken place and you are reporting the damage after the event, then your local Neighbourhood Policing Team will be notified of the incident and this will be recorded on the system as intelligence. It is for this reason that you should report every incident of vandalism or damage to property that you are aware of, because without these reports there is very little the police or council can do to tackle the problem itself and others associated with it.
Graffiti on public buildings and council property (including council houses) will be removed free of charge. If you live in a private dwelling, or if you are reporting graffiti on a building not owned by the council the owner is responsible for the removal of the graffiti.
