Police in Luton are investigating the defacing of a banner on a mosque.

Between the hours of 10pm on the 22nd of April and 2pm on the 23rd, red paint was sprayed on the Al Jalal Mosque.

PC Bedford-Orchart, from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Bedfordshire Police, said: “We believe this to be an isolated incident with no wider risk to the community.

“We understand this can be distressing to members of the community, particularly those from our Muslim communities and who access this building for religious purposes.

“We are appealing to members of the public and local businesses for any information, dashcam or CCTV footage that may help us – as well as anyone who can help identify those pictured to get in touch.”
