Racist vandals daubed 'KKK' and a large swastika across a children’s play park in Aberdeenshire.
The playground, in Port Elphinstone in the Inverurie area of Aberdeenshire, was found covered in white paint at 7am on Thursday morning by disgusted locals.
A large swastika, “KKK” and “F*** Cops” were among the offensive messages emblazoned across the grounds.
Outraged locals were disgusted by the vandalism and shared images on Facebook.
One wrote: “Absolutely disgusting and hope that individuals get caught and dealt with accordingly.”
Another said: “That’s absolutely disgusting why on earth would anyone do that to a kiddies play park. They are just evil thugs hope they are caught.”
A third said: “This is disgusting. For them to paint such hateful signs on kids playground equipment is abhorrent. Who ever did this hopefully will be caught and dealt with severely.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We have received reports of vandalism to a playpark in the Elphinstone Road area of Port Elphinstone, which is believed to have taken place between Wednesday, 10 March and Thursday, 11 March.
"Enquiries into the matter are ongoing."
