CCTV images have been released following a string of repeated graffiti attacks featuring the same symbol.
Canterbury City Council (CCC) is appealing for help to identify a man who they believe could hold vital information about the incidents.
It has released images of an individual who was seen on camera in the Wincheap underpass at 2.12am on February 2.
The graffiti tag has been spotted in many places across Canterbury, including at the public toilets at Toddlers’ Cove play area, public facing walls and underpasses.
The council says it has spent around £1,900 of taxpayers’ money cleaning off and covering up this one tag alone.
It has not yet been able to identify the individual and is now appealing for information.
Cabinet member for enforcement Cllr Connie Nolan said: “This tag is continuing to appear across the district and despite our very best efforts, our investigations have not been successful up to now.
“This means taxpayers will continue to incur the cost of our work to remove it.
“Following careful consideration, we have decided it is proportionate, legal, appropriate and necessary to release these images so the suspect can be identified, engaged with and sanctioned if necessary.”
The council is offering a £500 reward for information that leads to the formal sanction of an individual for committing the offences.
Information can be provided, anonymously if necessary, by emailing streetsceneenforcement@canterbury.gov.uk or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
