Silver paint was used to tag areas in Princes St. PHOTO: GERARD O'BRIENFour people were caught silver-handed after going on a graffiti spree in central Dunedin, police say. Officers searched for the group, aged 30, 20, 21 and 19, and located them in Dowling St with silver paint covering their hands - the same colour paint used in the tags around the city. They were also found in possession of paint pens and spray cans, Snr Sgt Bond said. Officers identified 23 locations that had been graffitied and all four were arrested. Numerous charges were likely for the four - possibly one each for every instance of tagging, Snr Sgt Bond said.
