Police are treating an incident which involved slices of bacon being hung outside a Jewish home as a possible hate crime.

The raw meat was laid on a metal bracket attached to the doorframe, close to the property’s mezuzah.

Hertfordshire Police are now appealing for witnesses to come forward.

The victim, who does not wish to be identified, reported a second incident to police, whereby a man performed a Nazi salute outside her kitchen window.
