Help the police solve race hate letter case…

Friday 24 July 2015

If you can recognise this handwriting, you might be able to help the police to solve the case of an Islander who has been bombarded with racially-motivated hateful letters for years.

The police have taken the unusual step of releasing part of one of the letters sent since 2013, to see if anyone will come forward having recognised the handwriting.

They also say that they want to make sure that everyone in Jersey knows that they will take any complaints about racially-motivated crimes seriously.

The full excerpt that the police have released is:

All they know so far is that the letters were posted locally, by a man.

A statement from the police said: “The States of Jersey Police are investigating several Postal offences involving a number of racially motivated letters that have been received by a local resident, between 2013 and 2015.

“The letters were posted locally and delivered to a local address and DNA samples indicate association with a male profile.

“The Police are appealing to any person that may be able to identify the handwriting in the letter pictured below. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Police on 612612 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800555111.”
