Police now investigating post uploaded to account which features a photo of Stephens wearing Tesco uniform

Said vigilante group would liaise with 'French people' to 'burn out Muzrats'

A rant posted on Marty Stephens' Facebook page issued a public call to arms for a 300-strong gang to travel with him to violently resolve the migrant crisis

Police are investigating after a supermarket worker made an appeal to take hundreds of thugs to beat up immigrants in Calais.

The rant was posted on Marty Stephens' Facebook page and issued a public call to arms for a 300-strong gang to travel with him to violently resolve the migrant crisis.

But instead of being deluged with offers of help for his hate-filled trip to the continent, the majority of users ridiculed him for the 47-year-old's ramblings..

Littered with spelling errors, Stephens wrote: 'To all patriots we are attempting to set up a posse of at least 300 people, we will set a date and time to infiltrate calaise and sort this ignorant problem ourselves, We have french people on that side who will fasilitate with materials and equipment needed to burn out these muzrats and put and end to it all.' (sic)

Stephens, of Plymouth, Devon, has since taken down his Facebook profile, although his picture is still being widely circulated online.

Police confirmed they are now looking into the post, although no arrests have currently been made

Facebook photographs from July 2014 show Stephens wearing his blue Tesco uniform.

But the supermarket giant distanced themselves from their former employee, saying he has not worked for them in over a year.

Devon and Cornwall Police said they were investigating the issue.

A spokesman said: 'We have received reports recently relating to a potentially offensive Facebook status from a man believed to be from Plymouth.

'Police are currently investigating this matter.'

Among the 100-plus comments on Stephens' original post was one pointing out his stupidity in announcing his plan to the world on Facebook.

It read: 'Always smart when planning international terrorism to announce it on Facebook.

'Forwarded it to the MET and ATS and Interpol cyber crime. Not because you are a racist fantasist, but because you are clearly too stupid to walk the streets.'
