Nine arrested as part of train graffiti gang “touring Spain”

National Police officers have arrested nine graffiti artists for committing 105 crimes of damage in trains and wagons. The detainees formed a travelling group or crew that had repeatedly acted on trains in the provinces of Madrid, Salamanca, Valladolid, Segovia, Ávila, León, Murcia, Valencia and Asturias. The value of the damages caused amounts to about 420,000 euros. The investigation began in January when police received a tip-off that various graffiti attacks were the work of the same gang. After analysing the criminal acts and the signatures or tag, the agents found that this group was responsible for up to 105 crimes of damage committed in up to 21 localities and valued at about 420,000 euros. In order to commit criminal offences, the detainees carried out a preliminary study of the site and checked if there were security guards or surveillance technical devices, hiding their faces with caps or scarves to make it difficult to identify them. “The group had a clear division of tasks when making the graffiti. Several of them formed a row to be distributed throughout the convoy, others watched and others recorded graffiti and later spread it through social networks,” said a police spokesman. After analysing all the information, the agents proceeded to arrest the nine investigated in the northern zone of Madrid (six), Zamora, Segovia and Salamanca. In the investigation, agents of the local Police of Collado Villalba and Salamanca have collaborated.
