Superintendent Dave Pester from the City of Manchester Team, based at Longsight Police Station, said: “I am determined to find out who is responsible for these despicable crimes. Hate Crime has no place in our community, and I would ask that anyone with information contacts the police.

“I am keen to identify a young man who was seen near to St Luke’s Primary School on the Coverdale Estate in Ardwick around 12.45pm on Thursday 16 February.

“If you have had similar material posted through your door, please get in touch with police.”
