Vehicles and houses were vandalised with Swastikas and antisemitic graffiti on Osbaldeston Road N16 (in Cazenove, Stoke Newington, Hackney) overnight on December 28th.

Shomrim coordinator Barry Bard said: “Shomrim are committed to bring a stop to these senseless and mindless acts of vandalism, and are working closely with the Police investigation to assist in every possible way. Similar Swastikas have appeared in the same area over the past few weeks. Police are taking these incidents very seriously and are treating it as Hate Crime, I urge anyone with information to call 101”.

Police Inspector Jeoff Bull (NE Neighbourhoods, Hackney) said: “We will not tolerate anti-semitism or racism of any kind. We are doing our utmost to trace and bring to justice the suspects involved in this racist graffiti as well as reassure all of our communities”.

IAG chair Moishe Friedlander said: “We as a community are delighted with the rapid response and supportive nature of MPS Hackney officers in support of the community and investigation of this crime. Extra reassurance patrols will be forthcoming”.
