Shops daubed with racist graffiti
Police are warning of action after racist and abusive graffiti was sprayed across shops in Leicester.

The stores on The Exchange precinct on the Eyres Monsell Estate were targeted on Tuesday night.

Leics Police vowed to catch the culprits after recent initiatives led to anti-social behaviour being dramatically reduced in Eyres Monsell.

PC Calven Bayliss, beat officer on the estate, said: "We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour on the estate."

Officers have worked "very closely" with the community to tackle the anti-social behaviour, he said.

"Incidents of anti-social behaviour have been dramatically reduced in Eyres Monsell," Mr Bayliss continued.

"We will do everything we can to make sure those responsible for this graffiti are caught and prosecuted."
