Just a day after more than 20 homes and vehicles were covered in swastikas and anti-semitic graffiti, London Police have the suspect in custody. As YWN was first to report on Monday, London Police along with Shomrim were searching for the suspect.

Sources tell YWN that the suspect turned himself into police after he learned that detectives were looking for him. He was taken into custody without further incident. It appears that the same suspect is responsible for additional hate crimes which plagued the same area over the past few weeks.

London Police tweeted the following a few minutes ago: “With the help of @ShomrimOfficial a 32 year old man has been arrested & is in custody for the anti Semitic criminal damage series in N16.”

Earlier Tuesday, Assistant Commissioner MPS Helen King visited the scene of the antisemitic graffiti on Osbaldeston Road #N16.

On Monday 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”.
