Street Artist Recreates Real Crime Scenes

It's really refreshing to see a government use street art for a good cause. Street artist Otis Frizzell captured moments from three real-life New Zealand Police stories, stenciling each one on a wall near the sites where the events unfolded. The campaign, by M&C Saatchi Auckland, encourages young Kiwis who want to make a difference to consider becoming a cop. The New Zealand police even created videos that tell the actual stories behind the stencils!
