Humberside police investigating swastika carving and illustration of a gas chamber near bus stop on busy road

Police in Humberside are investigating the carving of a swastika and an illustration of a gas chamber near a bus stop on a busy road.

The vandalism of a fence on Kingston Road in Willerby, by Hull, is believed to have taken place on 13th and 14th December. One of the city’s synagogues is also in Willerby.

Police are reportedly investigating the vandalism as an antisemitic hate crime.

We are grateful to the member of the public who brought this incident to our attention.

If you have any more information, please contact the police on 101, quoting reference number: 16/122195/21.

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