“Six ‘intelligent and well-educated’ Australians have been jailed for causing damage put at £70,000 during a six-month graffiti spree in London. The men targeted Tube and overground trains, Southwark Crown Court heard. The graffiti artists, who all admitted criminal damage, were caught in Ilford, east London, by police officers who heard rattling cans and smelt paint. Sentencing, Judge Michael Gledhill said it was ‘appalling’ to see ‘talented’ graffiti artists sitting in the dock. … Mulhearn received 14 months imprisonment, Shumack and Hing were both sentenced to 12 months, Vassell received a 10-month sentence and Alex Wisman was jailed for eight months.” (06/17/09)
