Graffiti scrawled on homes and public buildings in Morpeth could send the area 'downhill' and discourage visitors, some locals fear.
Northumbria Police say they've been "working closely" with local schools and the council over reports of vandalism in the Northumberland town over the last month.
Morpeth resident Carmen Pattison captured several images of the vandalism on walls earlier in February, sharing them on a local Facebook group where a number of people agreed that graffiti was a concern.
