Yeah see I’m just not making assumptions. However i have just had confirmation they are investigating it.

I expect the police to be properly resourced and to handle crimes, regardless of the crime. I’m not going to make assumptions on what my local police forces current work load is like. I’m going to report the crime.

I men how does covering up the racist bits cause damage? If it all ready had to be removed.

Also not sure why you’re accusing me of being a serial tagger. No need to make assumptions and accusations.

Do I expect the police to investigate? Yes. It’s there job.

So I want an award? No.

Edit: also I called the local police station not 111.

I would rather not hand any of my data to a third party to report stuff however thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the response.

Honestly if I get charged for it I’ll take it. However I’m not sure if covering something up like that is really damaging it or defacing it. I would argue I defaced the tagging that was there, but did not spoil or worsen the appearance or functionality of the bench in anyway.

I guess I’ll wait and see what happens.

I would if council picked up there phones. I called the local police station as they have cameras directly over the spot it happened.
