'Brummies go home' note treated as hate crime by police in Wales

Police are investigating a hand-scrawled note posted to a Birmingham family who moved to a remote Welsh seaside town as a hate crime.

The note, penned using red ink, was pinned to a home in Iorwerth Avenue, Aberystwyth, on Monday, Dyfed-Powys Police said.

The full note reads: “Iorwerth Ave. was once a quiet, pleasant residential area until a load of s*** from the Midlands hit it.

“Low-life like you should be forced to live in fenced tinker sites preferably back where you come from.

“Why don’t you take your clapped out, crappy boats, Jeeps, cars and your hideous, vomit inducing accents back to Brummyland and please take a few thousand yaw yaws with you.”

Dyfed-Powys Police are investigating the poison pen letter.

“An offensive note was left outside a property that has caused distress to the occupants,” a force spokesman said.

“The note was left just after 7pm on the evening of January 8. Officers would like to speak with the individual who left the note.

“If you have any information, CCTV or doorbell camera footage that could help inquiries, please get in touch.”
