A HATE crime investigation has been launched after a series of racist posters were found in Fife.
Police Scotland said that posters containing “content of a racially-offensive nature” had been seized and were being probed.
The first poster was found on a bus shelter on Overton Road, Kirkcaldy and reported to officers at around 10am on Thursday, January 30.
A “similar poster” was then reported to police around 10:40am on Tuesday, February 4, at a bus shelter at Groban in Leven.
A third poster was found later that same day at a nearby street at the junction of Scoonie Road and Haughgate Street.
Police said that all of the posters contained content of a racially-offensive nature and were seized by officers.
“This is being treated as a hate crime and enquiries are ongoing to identify those responsible,” the force added.
Sergeant Piercy said: "The content of these posters is very concerning and we recognise the impact this may have on our communities.
"The posters that have been discovered have since been removed, however we would urge the public to report instances of this nature to police immediately if they come across it.
"We have dedicated officers carrying out a number of enquiries to establish where this material came from, and I would appeal to the public to contact police if you have any information which may assist.
"Police can be contacted by calling 101 and quoting incident 1085 of 4 February, 2025. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where you can give information anonymously."
