    Nazi swastikas have been spray painted on two homes in Harrogate.

    Police say the incidents caused "considerable distress" and are appealing for anyone with CCTV footage to come forward.

    The damage occurred on Bilton Lane in Bilton and Trefoil Drive in Jennyfields between 8pm on Sunday and 11am on Monday.

    Nazi Germany adopted the swastika flag in the 1930s.

    North Yorkshire Police said in a statement this morning a front door and a garage door were sprayed painted. It added:

    "The victims cars were also damaged, one with a swastika, the other with a red line.
    "This is an abhorrent image and one that has caused the victims considerable distress.
    "Officers are requesting your help and are appealing to anyone who has any information, in particular anyone on the two roads that might have doorbell or household CCTV cameras, to contact the police."


    Anyone with information can contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Jonathan Cleary. You can also email Jonathan.cleary@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk

    If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
    Quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12210038263 or 12210039205.
