North Yorkshire Police is appealing for information about a racially aggravated incident in Harrogate.

A statement from the force today (March 9) said the incident happened on Cawthorn Avenue at about 10pm on Wednesday, March 4, "and involved racially offensive drawings being drawn on a stationary vehicle".

The suspects are described as two white men, aged in their 20s, and dressed in black tracksuits.

The statement added:

We are particularly interested in any CCTV footage of the area and would request the public to check cameras and doorbell footage to see if they have captured anything of note.

Please email chloe.winter-atkinson@northyorkshire.police.uk if you have any information that could help our investigation.

Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask for Chloe Winter-Atkinson, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their website.
