Pig heads dumped on the doorstep of a community centre could have been a racially-motivated attack.

Police have arrested a 34-year-old man after the find at the centre in Solihull, Birmingham, on April 12.

He is being held on suspicion of carrying out a religiously-aggravated public order offence, reports the Coventry Telegraph.

Chief Supt Alex Murray said: “Solihull has a hard-earned reputation as a place where people from different backgrounds have really strong bonds.

Attack: Solihull Community Hub

“It is an area where communities are respectful and considerate of one another and when that harmony is disrupted by the actions of an ignorant minority, people should rest assured we will take action to ensure justice is served.

“In this case, a huge amount of effort has been involved in trying to find the arrested man, with addresses being tried again and again without let up.

"There will be no tolerance of any type of hate crime here in Solihull and we will do all we can to trace anyone we suspect of being involved in it.”
