ILLITERATE racists have left their mark close to Hereford’s Victoria Bridge.
Vandals daubed the message “F*** off home you sticking Poles!” over 10 metres of a wall alongside the River Wye at the weekend.
Herefordshire Council staff worked to clean the offensive graffiti on Monday afternoon.
The police are investigating and Chief Insp Nick Semper said: “We will not tolerate this sort of ignorant racist behaviour.
“Anyone caught daubing offensive graffiti in this city or county can expect the full might of the law to fall on them. The Polish community in Herefordshire now plays a substantial role in the life of the county and we will not stand by and allow bigots and racists to affront them.”
Anyone who saw those responsible for the graffiti is asked to contact Sgt Dave Evans at Hereford Police Station on 08457 444888 or to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
