Facecrook - You're nicked!

Yorkshire police have started to use Facebook (and YouTube) to catch Graffiti 'artists'. They have started a group called 'Harrogate Safer Neighbourhood Team' that shows 'tags' from the artists in the hope that younger members of the community might know who has been vandalising local buildings.

It has already led to four arrests - Go Social Media crime fighters!

Not the best quality video from Harrogate Police:
