🚨 Breaking: Police have stepped up patrols in the area and are appealing for witnesses

Inspector John Barker, head of the Keighley Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “This vandalism will undoubtedly, and rightly, have caused a great deal of offence in the community. My Neighbourhood Team have stepped up patrols in the area and will continue to be a visible presence in the area.

Two racially aggravated hate crimes in relation to the two incidents have also been recorded by police. Image: Bruce Rollinson “An investigation is underway to find the person responsible and we are currently looking through CCTV. We have been liaising with Bradford Council about the matter and I would ask anyone who has any information about the incidents or may have seen anything suspicious near the Ilkley War Memorial to come forward.

“Information can be given to the Keighley Neighbourhood Policing Team on 101 referencing crime number 13220570925 or online at .
