Two men have been arrested over a series of graffiti incidents that included a primary school being painted with a swastika.

It comes after officers received multiple reports of vehicles, buildings, and general public spaces in St Helier being covered with "offensive and abusive graffiti" on Friday morning.

A 51-year-old man and a 37-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of malicious damage under Common Law.

Last week, Chief Minister Deputy Lyndon Farnham said he was "deeply disturbed" by the graffiti.
