Devon and Cornwall Police are investigating a potential hate crime after a Holocaust memorial in Plymouth was vandalised.
Overnight on January 29, an attempt was apparently made to remove a plaque located in the Peace Garden on Plymouth Hoe that was dedicated to “all victims of genocide”. The memorial stone to which the plaque is fixed was damaged, as was the stone plinth upon which it sits.
The force said that the attempted vandalism was carried out between 9pm on January 29 and 10am the next day, which fell in the same week as Holocaust Memorial Day.
