Police have launched an appeal after racial comments were spray painted onto a viaduct in Kingswinford. 

Dudley Police said the graffiti, which also included a swastika symbol, was spray painted onto the viaduct over Wolverhampton Road. 

It was reported to officers by a member of the public on May 11. 

The graffiti has since been removed thanks to partnership work with Dudley Council. 

A spokesperson for Dudley Police said: "We are appealing for information after racial comments were spray painted onto a viaduct over Wolverhampton Road, Kingswinford.

"We will not tolerate any form of hate crime and we are working hard to find those responsible for the criminal damage.

"Anyone with any information is asked to contact us via Live Chat or call 101 quoting 20/496220/24."
