POLICE have asked the ‘artist’ behind an ugly graffiti scrawl to come forward and take credit for their work.

Thames Valley Police Kidlington tweeted this picture of the sprawling bus stop tag on Sunday.

Making a tongue-in-cheek appeal for information, one officer wrote: "Does anyone recognise this graffiti tag or know anyone who may doodle using this tag?

"We’re eager to congratulate them on their artwork.

"Please contact the Kidlington Neighbourhood team on 101."
