Officers in Bridgnorth say that over the last few weeks, racist graffiti has been appearing underneath a bridge in the town.

While Shropshire Council has been working to remove the graffiti, police say it appeared again "but a lot worse than previously" on Friday.

West Mercia Police is now appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious to come forward.

Bridgnorth PCSO, Mandy Leek said: "Over the last few weeks we have been seeing some racist graffiti appearing underneath the bypass bridge. This had all been painted over by the council.

"[On] September 13, the graffiti appeared again but a lot worse than previously. Once again the council will be removing this.

"We believe that this was done in daylight hours after 12pm and before 6pm .

"If anybody has seen anyone on the Wellmeadow field under the bypass Bridge acting suspiciously or believe that they are the culprits, can you please let us know. This is a very serious offence and will not be tolerated."

Those with information can email bridgnorth.snt@westmercia.police.uk, report the incident online at westmercia.police.uk or call 101.
