UK: Racist graffiti investigated

A police investigation has begun after racist symbols were sprayed on a wall in Leicestershire, England.

Nazi swastikas and Ku Klux Klan logos were daubed in red paint on the wall.

Officers described the graffiti, applied between Sunday night and Monday morning, as “mindless” criminal damage.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
