People in a Hertfordshire village have been left “sickened” and “horrified” after the words "Jew Ghetto" were discovered on Monday morning to have been daubed at different locations in the area.

Police said three places in Shenley were defaced with the words along with a Star of David.

Michelle Spevick posted a picture of the graffiti near Southerton Way on the “My Shenley” Facebook page, writing: “As a Shenley resident and the descendant of families pretty much wiped out in the Holocaust I am sickened by this graffiti which I just drove past.

“I doubt the person who did this feels remorse or shame but they badly need some educating. Police are aware and dealing. Having happily lived in this lovely, peaceful, warm and open community for nearly 15 years I am just so sad at this.”
