Police have arrested and charged a man who allegedly vandalised a Brisbane Woolworths store with graffiti, and set a flare off under the door.

The graffiti read "5 days 26 Jan Aussie Oi Oi Woolies F*** U", and the words "Boycott Woolies" was spray painted on the entrance doors.

Following investigations by the Fortitude Valley Criminal Investigation Branch, a 40-year-old Ormiston man was arrested in Fortitude Valley around 7:45pm.

Ironically, you can buy flags in the store year-round. The Australia Day merch is more green & gold face paints, Australian flag cups, little kids tattoos etc. Not enough people are buying the junk, so they took it off the shelves.
