Police are hunting a man after anti-Semitic stickers were put up around the Tube network.

Seven stickers were found at Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden stations between January 10 and January 12, according to police.

The stickers, which were found during rush hour, had been emblazoned with Nazi terminology and swastikas.

Police said the stickers were quickly removed and an investigation was launched to trace the person responsible.

On Wednesday, British Transport Police released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the stickers.

Investigating officer Ben Hurley said: “There is no place for intolerance and racism in our society and we take a firm stance against anyone who carries out these offences.

“All instances of hate crime are taken extremely seriously and we would actively encourage anyone who has spotted these stickers on public transport to contact us.

“Our enquiries are ongoing and I am hopeful that someone will recognise the man in the CCTV images.”

Anyone with information is asked to send a text to 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 174 of 07/02/2017. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
