Shop front daubed again

A FORMER shop front in Steeton has again been daubed with offensive graffiti.

The former Co-op in Main Street was marked with words - painted in bright orange - in support of the British National Party over the festive period.

Last month the same build-ing was covered in racial abuse and BNP markings.

After last month's incident the Keighley organiser for the BNP, Christopher Kirby, said the culprits did not represent the party in any way.

He said the BNP was in the process of looking at people who were not good for the party and it wanted to distance itself from this kind of "dis-gusting" behaviour.

Steeton-with-Eastburn Parish Council discussed the offensive graffiti at its last council meeting and emphasised the importance of reporting all such instances to the police.

A police spokesman said: "Officers have located the graffiti at the former Co-op building. They will be contacting the relevant officers to remove the graffiti and are now investigating the incident."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the neighbourhood policing team on 01535 617119.
