Racist graffiti has been spray painted on a wall outside a shop.

Police have now released images of man they want to speak to after the graffiti appeared on the side of a shop in Fleetwood.

Officers were called to Chatsworth Avenue at 5.46pm on June 10 following reports a man had sprayed offensive language on an exterior wall.

Police carried out a number of enquiries to identify the individual responsible and have now released a CCTV image of a person they want to speak to as part of their investigation.

PC Lynsey Tyrer, of Lancashire Police, said: “This kind of offensive and vile behaviour will not be tolerated by Lancashire Police and we are doing all we can to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.

“Lancashire is an inclusive place to live and work and this kind of offending is rare and in no way reflective of the communities which we serve,

“Our enquiries into this matter are very much ongoing and as part of that we need to speak to the man in the CCTV image who we believe can assist with our enquiries.

"I would ask anybody who recognises him to contact police as soon as possible.

"Similarly, if the man in the image, sees this appeal I would ask that he makes contact with us.”

Anybody with information is asked to email 958@lancashire.police.uk or call 101, quoting log 1127 of June 10.
