CCTV images have been released of a man police want to trace after a yob sprayed swear words onto a house and shop on the Wirral.
Police released stills of a shaved head man wearing shorts and T-shirt who they believe could help their probe into the sickening trail of graffiti.
The offensive graffiti, which police confirmed included swear words but did not expand further, was found sprayed outside a house on Hadfield Road in Hoylake.
Police were called on 7.30am on Saturday, August 8.
Graffiti was also found on a wall of a shop on Market Street in Hoylake.
Enquiries are ongoing to establish if the two incidents are linked.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said: "We have issued CCTV images of a man we would like to speak to as we believe he may have information which is vital to our investigation."
Anyone who recognises the man or has any information is asked to DM @MerPolCC or @CrimestoppersUK anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting reference 20000471243.
