Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses to an incident of racially aggravated abuse in Swindon at the weekend.

At approximately 11.50am, on Sunday 28 June, a man in his 50s and his daughter who is aged in her 20s, were shopping at the Food Warehouse by Iceland in Barnfield Road when a man who was not known to them made racist comments towards them. 

The man’s actions left the pair feeling alarmed and distressed.

PC Will Saunders said: “This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our community.

“If you were in the shop at the time and think you may have witnessed this incident, please get in touch.”

Call 101 and quote crime reference number 54200062199.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If you've been a victim of racial abuse, Wiltshire Police encourage you to report it by calling 101 or visit the True Vision website at www.report-it.org.uk.
