Footsteps on roof lead to graffiti arrest

A graffiti painter made too much noise on a rooftop while defacing a wall in west Hamilton.

The occupant of an apartment called the cops after he heard footsteps overhead and decided it was too early for Santa.

He got a good description of a guy he saw running down the back stairs. When police arrived they found a wallet and identification on the roof and nabbed a man with artist's supplies.

A 24-year-old Hamilton man has been charged with mischief under $5,000 and two counts of breach of probation.

There have been several arrests for graffiti recently. In mid-September, police got a tip and caught three young men with backpacks full of spray paint. They also had a digital camera to record their work.

And early last month, police arrested a man they believe is responsible for graffiti in 63 locations, all labelled KEENUR.
