Police are investigating an incident in which racist graffiti was daubed on a wall on Douglas seafront.

Residents at the Queen’s Apartments were horrified to see a swastika had been spray painted on a wall by the entrance to the block.

It has since been removed.

A police spokesman said: ‘I can confirm that this offensive graffiti was reported at 10pm on Sunday September 1 on the wall of Queen’s Apartments.

‘It has been done in red paint and there is a strong likelihood that this will have transferred to clothing and/or hands.

‘Therefore if anybody has any information can they please contact police HQ on 631212 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.’
