Investigation into hateful post EU referendum racism targeted at Polish residents

Police are investigating suspected post-referendum racism after hateful notes were allegedly posted through letterboxes of Polish residents in Cambridgeshire.

Laminated cards reading “Leave the EU - no more Polish vermin” were reportedly delivered to members of the Polish community in Huntingdon on Saturday, June 25.

Inspector Nick Percival said the police were “aware” of the incident and were investigating. He urged anyone with information about the source of the notes to contact the police.
