Police Scotland is hunting a man who is alleged to have spray painted racist graffiti against the Muslim faith at several locations across the Dedridge area of Livingston.
The graffiti is believed to have been sprayed from 2am on Saturday morning (October 4, 2014).
The man believed to be responsible is described as white, wearing a black baseball cap with ear flaps, and a red, white and blue striped football scarf wrapped round his face. He had a dark coloured zip up jacket, jeans and black boots.
He may have been wearing yellow ‘marigold’ gloves and using a large white coloured 18inch tin of red spray paint.
Detective Constable Steven Telford, who is leading the enquiry, said: “Anyone who recognises this man or has information about this incident is asked to call Police Scotland on 101 or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
I’d like to know how criticism of a cult can be considered ‘racist’. Is it also racist to criticise the Catholic Church for the abuse of children?
noj,
Have you seen the graffiti? The fact that is hate directed at one religious or racial group makes this completely unacceptable. This person, if caught should be punished using the full extent of the law. Completely unacceptable!
