He appeared in court on Monday. Chief Inspector Matt Nicholls, who set-up Operation Tend to deal with racist behaviour, said: "It was only by working effectively with community partners that we were able to make this significant arrest and therefore reduce the number of criminal incidents in the area by up to a third."
