Local authority is urging residents to report incidents to the police
Ramsey Commissioners says it's dealing with 'increased amounts' of criminal damage in the town.
The local authority says 'inappropriate graffiti' has been found on various signs and property around the town and in Mooragh Park.
It adds that the graffiti is 'vandalism' which is 'unacceptable' and damaging the community.
The commissioners are urging residents to report any graffiti to either the police on 812234, or the town hall.
Sandra Cottam-Shea, Deputy Chair of the Commissioners, said: “For some weeks now, someone has been defacing signs and properties around the town. We have dealt with this reactively, cleaning the damage as quickly as we can to ensure that both locals and visitors are not impacted by the visual deterioration it causes.
"It also means that our staff are being redeployed from other tasks, and the removal is rarely a simple job.
"What the perpetrator perhaps hasn’t considered is the local effect it is having on services. We will be talking to the police about how further offences might be prevented, but there’s actually a really simple solution, and that is for those responsible to just stop.
"We should love our town and keep it looking the best that it can, and this just isn’t part of who we are.”
