Graffiti is illegal if done on public property.

The police tracked down the suspects based on surveillance camera footage.

The arrested men are also being accused of stealing clothes worth 7.5 million won ($6,600) from department stores in Seoul and Busan on Oct. 11 and Oct. 12.

They reportedly told the police they stole and vandalized for fun.
