Jul 17 2010 by Tom Bristow, Liverpool Echo

Fellow graffiti vandal Maciej Sypianski, 24, from Wrexham, was also charged with the offences but failed to appear at court.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest as cops continue to hunt him down.

PC McGibbon added: “The damage committed by vandals like Ratowski not only has a financial implication but it also means that trains have to be taken out of service to be cleaned.

“This can have an effect on the everyday running of services and all our passengers may suffer as a consequence.

“Writing graffiti on the railway is not a harmless pastime – it is a criminal act.

“We welcome the sentence handed down to Ratowski and ask anyone with any information about the whereabouts of Sypianski to contact us.”
