On Thursday, Campbelltown police arrested a Bow Bowing boy, 15, and charged him with numerous graffiti offences involving trains, utilities, the IGA supermarket at St Andrews and a local factory.

Chief Inspector Bryan Doyle said the boy was booked into a youth conference, which means he will face the victims of those crimes, compensation and graffiti removal.

Campbelltown detectives attached to Operation Graffiti have been identifying offenders on various websites in recent months.

An Ambarvale boy, 17, was arrested on October 14 for allegedly trespassing and for a graffiti offence on the rail overpass at Macarthur Square in July.

Two teens also members of the FAK Familyy were charged with graffiti offences last month.

``Graffiti criminals can't hide on the internet or on the streets,'' Chief Inspector Doyle said.

``Parents have a big role to play in keeping their children safe from becoming involved in graffiti crime. It is important that parents know the friends of their children and who they are talking with on the internet.''

Despite this, members continue to taunt police and boast about their vandalism in Campbelltown on the Bebo site.
