A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: “This graffiti is very unsightly and unpleasant for residents and people who work in the area to look at.

“It’s also costly and time consuming to have it removed. We are appealing for anyone who knows who is responsible for this mindless damage to contact us.”

While some have commended the graffiti for being ‘quite artistic’ others have criticised the appearance and placing of the artwork.

Anyone with information should contact PCSO Daniel Smyphe on 101.
