LONDONDERRY — A 17-year-old boy has been charged with leaving graffiti at 23 places around town, including the Sargent Road skate park.

Police said they identified T**** L****** of Londonderry as a suspect after viewing his MySpace page, which featured pictures of graffiti resembling the vandalism found around town.

The MySpace page also had pictures of L******'s bedroom, which was decorated with graffiti, police said.

L****** has been charged with 25 counts of misdemeanor criminal mischief and one count of felony criminal mischief. He turned himself into police July 15.

Officer Daniel Hurley investigated two graffiti incidents in May and asked the school resource officer, Adam Lane, to ask if anyone at Londonderry High School knew of any suspects.

L****** was known around the school for being involved with graffiti, according to a police affidavit.

L****** is free on personal recognizance bail and is to appear in Derry District Court on Aug. 4.
