Anti-white racist graffiti has sprung up across three different locations in Birmingham, with the police launching an investigation into the incidents.

The racist writing appeared in three locations across the neighbourhood of Alum Rock.


On two occasions the words "No whites" were written, while the third read "No whites allowed".

CCTV footage obtained by the Telegraph shows a hooded figure approach one of the locations - a wall outside a primary school - in the early hours of Thursday, August 22.

After appearing to check whether they are being watched, the individual looks to be spraying "No whites" onto the wall before swiftly departing.

The other two graffiti locations were on Langton Road and Farndon Road.

West Midlands Police have said that there is no suggestion that the hooded figure captured on CCTV is responsible for the other two graffiti.

The force added that they are investigating the vandalism and are carrying out patrols in the area.
