Teenager caught on CCTV spray painting 'Baldi' on East Lothian community building

The male, who is believed to be between 14 and 18 years old, was captured on CCTV at the Whitecraig Community Hub spray painting on the side of the building at about 7.15pm on 12 February.

The culprit used red paint to write "Baldi" – a different tag from the recent "Baku” and “KTR” seen in the area.

Officers are appealing for witnesses to the incident to come forward as they try to identify the teenager, who has been described as white and about five feet ten in height.

He was wearing pale blue jeans, white trainers, a bright red or orange hooded puffa style jacket with the hood up and carried a black rucksack on his back,

A police spokesman said: “If anyone recognises this description and had information pertinent to the enquiry, can you please contact PC Hughes at the Musselburgh Community Policing Team.”
