Police seek information about Slough graffiti
Slough Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying who is responsible for writing graffiti on walls in the area of Stoke Road, Slough.
The Slough graffiti consists of insulting remarks about a local woman and her husband. It is written in black or red spray paint, sometimes in English and sometimes in Punjabi.
Since April 2007, 15 separate pieces of graffiti have appeared in several places, including the walls of shops in Stoke Road, St Pauls Avenue and Montague Road, Slough.
PC Ruth Cant, neighbourhood officer for Baylis and Manor Park, said: “The woman and her husband are naturally very distressed about all this. It has started to affect their daily lives, as they stay up late to see if they can spot anyone, then get up early to drive around checking for new graffiti, which they paint over themselves.
“Whoever is responsible clearly knows the couple, as their names and address are included in the graffiti. However, they have no idea why they are being targeted in this unpleasant way.
“Since some of the graffiti is written in Punjabi, it is likely that the culprit(s) are of Asian origin.
“The couple are so upset by the recurring incidents that they are prepared to offer a cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the graffiti.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Ruth Cant on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
