A Cloverdale man's graffiti 'tag' has led to him being charged with 124 counts of criminal damage after he was picked up by police last Thursday.

The 20-year-old was spotted allegedly spraying graffiti in Wicca Park by a nearby neighbour who phoned the authorities. Police apprehended the man at the scene.

Further investigations were able to match the man's graffiti with more than 300 other tags reported in the Belmont area between March and June of this year.

He will appear in Perth Magistrate's Court next week.
