Vandals have spray-painted the bandstand and bell tower
A �500 reward is being offered to people who identify "tags" left by graffiti vandals in a city park.

The Arboretum in Nottingham has been targeted by gangs who have spray-painted the bandstand, bell tower and toilets over recent weeks.

Police believe the same group is responsible for all the attacks and are asking people who recognise the "tags" - or sprayed designs - to contact them.

Removing the graffiti has cost more than �2,000 this year, say managers.

Pc Chris McKay, beat officer for the Arboretum, said: "The graffiti sprayed around this area can taint its reputation and looks ugly to people visiting."
