Vandalism - The spray-painted bedroom walls of a 16-year-old boy match up with a rash of graffiti plastered throughout several southside neighbourhoods, police say.

The teen has been charged with more than 25 graffiti-related offences in Queensland, Deer Run and Canyon Meadows. The neighbourhoods have been heavily hit with spray painting and tagging since October, police said Thursday.

Last week, police searching the teen's Deer Run home found 23 cans of spray paint, 50 pens, numerous sketchbooks and papers with the suspect's tag -- a unique signature marking his work.

The teen, who cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is awaiting trial.
