Appeal after racist language is scratched onto cars

RACIST graffiti was scratched into a number of cars in Oldham on Saturday.

Shortly after 3.50am, police received at least 10 reports of a man damaging vehicles on Heron Street.

He had scratched a number of the words onto the cars which contained racist language.

The offender was last seen on Hollins Road, near to the Britannia pub, and is described as tall, wearing red trainers, a grey Adidas hoodie and carrying a red bag in his hand.

Detective Inspector Ian Harratt, from Oldham's CID team, said: "The words scratched into these cars are offensive and unacceptable.

"Racist behaviour is never tolerated by GMP and we want to find the man responsible for this.

"If you saw this offence happening or recognise the description of the offender then please call police."

Anyone with any information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
