Fifteen-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of vandalising Ilkley War Memorial with swastika graffiti

A fifteen-year-old boy has been arrested after the Ilkley War Memorial was vandalised twice in one week.

Police found pink swastikas painted on the memorial on 16th October and again on 19th October.

The teenager was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, with both incidents in the West Yorkshire town being treated as racially aggravated hate crimes.

Campaign Against Antisemitism’s analysis of Home Office statistics shows that an average of over five hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews more than five times likelier to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.
