PSNI investigating graffiti as racist hate crime


The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has said it is investigating graffiti in County Tyrone as a racially motivated hate crime.

Officers appealed for information after graffiti was painted on buildings in several areas of Cookstown over the weekend.

Offensive language was written on a wall in a car park off the Burn Road and a swatstika was sprayed on a bus stop outside Holy Trinity College.

Shutters of a shop were also painted with swatstikas, while a racist message was written in the town centre.

PSNI Inspector Ross said: “I want to assure the public that we take all reports of hate crime extremely seriously.

“There is no place in our society for such behaviour.
