Arrest made over offensive graffiti in Bognor

A man has been arrested in connection with criminal damage caused at a park in Bognor.

It’s after swastikas were drawn and carved into street furniture at Hotham Park last month.

Sussex Police say a 42-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage and has been bailed, pending further enquiries.

Sergeant Ross Beaumont said: “We are aware this damage caused notable upset, along with gaining national media attention, and would like to express gratitude for the public’s support in disrupting this behaviour.

“Bognor Regis is an exceptional community that we take pride in, and this is a phenomenal example of people coming together to remind those will ill intent that it will not be tolerated in this town.

“The suspect has been bailed with conditions whilst enquiries continue, which we are progressing with pace.”
