Man charged in connection with defacement of BLM trail in Dundee
Posters were torn down at the city's Slessor Gardens earlier this month
A man's been arrested and charged in connection with the racially motivated vandalism of a black lives matter display in Dundee's Slessor Gardens.
A number of posters were torn down earlier this month.
The 34-year-old will be reported to the procurator fiscal.
Inspector Martin Jenkins, of Maryfield Police Station in Dundee, said: "Whilst incidents of this type are rare, we will not tolerate any racially motivated crime in the Tayside area.
"My message to everyone, whether they have been a victim of this sort of behaviour or witnessed it, is to please report it to us.
"We will take all reports seriously and will thoroughly investigate all instances of this nature to ensure offenders are brought to justice."
John Alexander, Dundee City Council leader, said: "I am impressed by the reaction of the people of Dundee who immediately donated to a fundraising campaign to replace the posters at Slessor Gardens.
"The artist also described the support she received as overwhelming.
"I am grateful to Police Scotland for their work on this matter."
