Police have warned the suspect allegedly responsible for daubing 'obscene graffiti' in Rugby to turn themselves in after they were caught in the act on CCTV. Warwickshire Police say they have footage of the alleged offender and believe it is only a matter of time before they catch up with them.

Officers say they will be forced to release an image of the alleged offender if they do not hand themselves in. A Rugby Police spokesperson said: "Some of you may have noticed some obscene graffiti appearing in the town in recent days.

"We would like to assure residents that we and our colleagues at Rugby BID have captured a suspect on CCTV and we are working with our colleagues at Rugby BID and Rugby Borough Council to identify him so appropriate action can be taken.

"In the meantime - if the slim, white male with long black hair and a beard would like to save us and himself some time he would be very welcome to come in and chat with us voluntarily. He can arrange this by calling us on 101.

"If he does not contact us and if we cannot identify him internally then we will have to consider sharing his image publicly."
