Police in a New Hampshire city are trying to find out who spray-painted "I'm drunk" on the side of their station over the weekend.

Portsmouth police sergeant Chris Kiberd said officers noticed that someone had spray-painted the message at some point during overnight hours.

The police department posted on its Facebook page that officers immediately began working to remove "this artist's thoughtful and insightful creation".

Mr Kiberd said surveillance cameras are placed around the municipal complex but none was recording in the area where the graffiti was discovered.

Other cameras reportedly captured two males with hoods covering their heads fleeing from the scene at around 1am.
