The graffiti was left on a wall at Edmonton police station -- in an area accessible only to officers and civilian staff, according to a Metropolitan Police statement.Swastikas are ancient symbols which date back thousands of years, but are best known for their use as Nazi insignia; they continue to be used as an emblem of the far-right. Police in the UK are banned from supporting such groups.The swastika was discovered on February 15 and recorded as a faith hate crime.
