Upper Gwynedd Police have issued a public thank you to the community after receiving a number of tips that ultimately led to the identity of the suspect responsible for a recent rash of graffiti and vandalism.

Police issued the call for public assistance on July 21, seeking the identity of the person responsible for a series graffiti and vandalism incidents.
