A spate of car vandalism in Watford has left motorists with racist graffiti carved into their vehicles.

Three incidents have been reported to police, where racist words have been scratched into cars in Church Road, Park Road and Sussex Road.

Neighbourhood inspector Deirdre Dent said: "We believe these incidents are linked, however what we do know is that the graffiti isn’t necessarily directed at the victim."

If you have any information you can contact the police on 101, or through Crimestoppers, the independent charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
