Sergeant Mark Rabel, of Cambridgeshire police, said: “There were a small number of similar incidents in the Ely area earlier this year and we are keeping an open mind as to whether these latest crimes are linked.
“We appreciate this kind of graffiti is worrying and distressing for local people. There is no place in our county for racism or prejudice and we take all reports extremely seriously.”
If you have more information, you can report it to Cambridgeshire police by calling 101 quoting crime reference number 35/83525/20.
It is the second time in eight months that offensive graffiti has been reported in the city, after East Cambridgeshire District Council had to remove it from a wall.

At the meeting, councillors discussed how East Cambridgeshire District Council erected a sign on Ely s Riverside saying ducks and geese must only be fed on the water, not on the land. If people ignored this they could be prosecuted up to £2,500 for littering.
