A POLICE officer in New Zealand says he has cut graffiti crime by making taggers wear pink vests while painting over their tags.
Wellington community Constable Theo Gommans said the vests, emblazoned with the word 'tagger', made offenders make them think about the consequences of their actions, Radio New Zealand reported.
He said he had already seen a reduction in tagging since he began touring schools with the pink vest.
But local city councillor Iona Pannett likened the vests to the pink triangles that gay men were forced to wear in Nazi concentration camps and called for their use to be halted.
