Police have opened an investigation into antisemitic leaflets stuck to lampposts in Liverpool city centre, calling the incident “a hate crime”.

The stickers, supporting the far-right National Action group, were reported by a Jewish resident in Liverpool.

Similar leaflets including swastikas, a Nazi salute and the phrase “No Tolerance” have also been seen in Aberystwyth, Glasgow, Hull and Cardiff since May.

The stickers, displayed near Childwall Hebrew Congregation and King David High School, were also reported to the Community Security Trust.
