SASKATOON - A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for an alleged graffiti artist over fears that he might be trying to leave the country.
Police allege samples of graffiti tags by Victor Briestensky distributed by Vancouver police match tags on two buildings in Saskatoon. Investigators allege the samples also match graffiti in Regina. Police say they believe Briestensky, 20, is travelling to Montreal and may leave Canada.
Briestensky faces two counts of mischief under $5,000 and four counts of beach of a recognizance.
Saskatoon police are co-ordinating the hunt for Briestensky with the assistance of police in Vancouver, Regina and Calgary.
The graffiti samples were sent out over the Canada Graffiti Intel Network, which was created by the Saskatoon Police Service's Anti-Graffiti Unit in 2006.
