Antisemitic graffiti has appeared on a bus shelter and a wall in Weston-super-Mare town centre. Investigating officers from Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for information on the criminal damage.
The graffiti appeared near Locking Road car park and Birnbeck Pier between Monday, February 17 and Tuesday, February 18. They have since been removed by North Somerset Council and police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

“We investigate all reports of hate crime with the aim of bringing offenders to justice. We’d like to thank the members of the public who felt disturbed by the graffiti and picked up their phones to report it to us.
