The person behind a recent spate of graffiti in a south Cumbrian town has been found and 'dealt with'.

The South Lakes Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) said the individual responsible had been identified following inquiries into the incidents in Grange-over-Sands.

A Community Resolution has been arranged, a tactic of dealing with minor offences outside of court that sees the offender 'take responsibility and make amends' for their actions.

A spokesperson from the NPT said: "The matter has now been dealt with by way of a Community Resolution, ensuring the damage has been addressed and the impact on the community acknowledged.

"We remain fully committed to tackling anti‑social behaviour (ASB) in all our communities.

"Our neighbourhood teams continue to work closely with residents, businesses, and partners to keep our areas safe and feeling safe."

Residents who witness ASB or have concerns are reminded to contact Cumbria Police via their website or on 101.
