Posters advertising a Holocaust memorial event have been daubed with graffiti including the words “liars” and “killer”.
The Metropolitan police said the incidents, which took place in Stratford, east London, were being listed as a hate crime, and said officers in Newham were investigating.
Newham council received pictures of the offences – involving three posters publicising the council’s Holocaust memorial day event – through social media.
Meanwhile, chief constables across the country are reviewing how to strengthen the protection of their officers and the Jewish community in the light of the Paris terrorist attacks.
