A MAN has admitted a spate of graffiti worth more than £5,000 in a series of Facebook posts.

Jack Ellis posted the confession on his public profile today after police revealed they had arrested a woman and two men on suspicion of criminal damage.

Police say more than 250 graffiti tags had been sprayed in and around Salisbury since the start of the year.

In an expletive-laden admission, Mr Ellis said he was responsible for graffiti tags under the name "Peak" or "Pk".

He posted: "I wright graffitti by the name of peak \pk and what!? F*** the police the dumb ass c***s nicking my misses for f*** all"

He then said he had called the police to admit his crimes: "ive rang the old bill and told them its me to get jer out there a bunch of c***s cluching at staws thats all"

Around the same time, Mr Ellis commented on the Journal's story about the arrests.

He posted: "Was me not no 19 year old girl haha im peak and what!? I do graffitti bombing witch means getting your name up as much as you can anywhere and by the looks of all you to good c***s seen it haha"

Salisbury Journal:

A Facebook friend advised Mr Ellis that he had "grassed himself up", adding: "you got a kid to look after bruv".

Wiltshire Police have been approached for comment.
