Two-and-a-half years in jail for 39 separate incidents of criminal damage with 12 months extra for attempting to pervert the course of justice. £60,000-a-year surveyor who led secret life as leader of prolific graffiti gang which defaced hundreds of trains and buildings is jailedwww.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2343196/60-000-year-surveyor-led-secret-life-leader-prolific-graffiti-gang-defaced-hundreds-trains-buildings.html#ixzz2WVfjPKrvC&P; "Holmes' crime spree began when he attacked a 63-year-old carriage on the Bluebell Railway - the steam-powered heritage line run by volunteers in Sussex.
Volunteer Anthony Funnell told the court CCTV at the train yard, in Uckfield, Sussex, showed Holmes and four cohorts vaulting over the fence at the dead of night to cause £3,000 of damage.
'What can't be qualified is the effect this had on the volunteers who have given up their time to restore the carriages', he said.
DNA on a discarded cigarette left at the scene among empty paint cans and a discarded paint-splattered bag linked Holmes to the February 6, 2003 attack."I hope Bluebell Railway take private action and are successful in retrieving compensation, for the damage caused, by this £60,000-a-year surveyor.
