Spanish police say they have
arrested 10 of the country's most active graffiti painters on suspicion of
being responsible for over 600,000 euros (US$760,000) worth of damage to subway
rolling stock, AP reports.
The suspects, aged between 21 and 27
have been charged with 99 offenses of public disorder including daubing 168
train carriages.
Officers took three years to gather
enough information to arrest the gang, who had begun operating as individuals
but later joined forces.
The well-organized group would stop
trains dead by pulling security levers at pre-arranged spots away from security
cameras where others would be waiting to help paint up to 50 square meters (538
square feet) in around five minutes.
The painters would sign their work and film
their activities for later publication, a statement says on Sunday.
