A man has been arrested after racist graffiti was found at New Calton Burial Ground in Edinburgh last month.
Police confirmed that a 25-year-old has been charged in connection with the graffiti, which was scrawled within the burial ground on Regent Road between June 15 and June 16.
He is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on August 14.
Inspector Robert Innes said: "We are glad to report that on the back of diligent enquiries by local Community officers and extensive joint working with our partners in Edinburgh City Council, an arrest has been made in connection with the racist graffiti within the New Calton Burial Ground on Regent Road.
"We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour and we will work to ensure those who seek to cause distress to our community by carrying out such actions, will be identified and reported."
"We would also like to thank the members of the public who came forward to assist us with our inquiries in relation to this incident."
