Police have arrested a man after racist graffiti was painted on the door of a Coventry mum’s new flat.

The individual, who hasn’t been identified, has been questioned and released on bail until April.

The Telegraph understands that the man who has been arrested is white.

A spokesman for Coventry Police said: “A 54-year-old local man has been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated criminal damage and was later released on police bail pending further enquiries.”

Police launched an investigation after damage was caused to Sammie Sunter’s new flat in Mary Slessor Street, Willenhall, on February 15.

Anti-vandal paint and faeces had been smeared on the door.

A note had also been pushed through the door saying that Willenhall was “black only”.
