Police Scotland are appealing for information following vandalism along the A92 in Fife.

There have been a number of reports of offensive graffiti appearing on bridges between Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy, and in recent days, there has been an increase in incidents between Crossgates and Cowdenbeath.

The offensive content of the graffiti is also being treated as a hate crime.

Officers are working with partner agencies to identify those responsible and discuss potential prevention methods.

Sergeant John Nicol from Cowdenbeath Community Policing Team said: “Everyone has the right to feel safe in their community.

“We take reports of hate-related behaviour extremely seriously and would encourage anyone with information about those responsible to get in touch.”

Anyone with information, or drivers with dash-cams who use the route and may have captured something significant, is encouraged to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 1887 of 26 August.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
