Nazi swastikas and white pride symbols have been scrawled in Abingdon.

The Nazi graffiti was spotted daubed on Tower Close wooden bridge in Abingdon.

A local snapped a picture of the graffiti but says it has since been covered up, he added that this is not the only time he has seen a Nazi symbol in Abingdon.

He said: “Thankfully this particular symbol has since been covered, but if you walk around south Abingdon you will see various Nazi symbols, some of which have now been painted over.

“I also saw SS bolts and white pride/power painted on a bench in Caldecott Recreation Ground.”

Twitter user @AntiSystemUK has also shared a picture of Nazi signs he found in Abingdon.

Thames Valley Police say they have been notified about the situation and have requested anybody with information on the young vandals to come forward.

A spokesperson said: “It is being looked into and the neighbourhood team have been made aware. Anyone with information can make a report online or call 101 quoting the reference 43210354189.”

Meanwhile, a spokesperson from the Vale of White Horse District Council added: "One of our environmental enforcement officers visited the site as soon as this was brought to our attention and has removed any offensive stickers and arranged for any graffiti to be removed.
