A German backpacker was caught red-handed on camera tagging rock walls on the walk up to the Franz Josef glacier terminal face last Thursday.

English tourists managed to take a few pictures of the 28-year-old culprit and handed their footage to police who arrested him on Friday heading out of town.

The man was made to clean his work off the rocks and ice in the company of Department of Conservation staff.
