Waterloo graffiti artist who caused £17,000 damage to railway property given suspended jail sentence

A MAN who caused more than £17,000 of graffiti damage to railway property was given a suspended jail sentence.

Samuel Chadwick, 21, of Oakdale Road, Waterloo, went on a three-year graffiti spree from 2005 to 2008, spraying trains and railway property throughout Merseyside and while at university in Bristol.

He was sentenced to a total of 32 months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years, after admitting 12 counts of criminal damage at Liverpool Crown Court.

The court heard Chadwick used the “tag” OSKER or OSKR.

He was caught during a British Transport police investigation into the tag.
