A town centre office building vandalised with red paint has largely been cleaned up.
The block in the town centre was badly damaged when windows were smashed and red paint daubed on the brick work.
The words ‘Avnet kills Gazan babies’ was scrawled on the front door and entrance steps - in large white writing – at an office building on Institute Street, off Silverwell Street, on Friday.
Since then, the graffiti on the door and steps has been completely removed, but some windows are still broken, with red paint still visible on some of the windows.

People arrived at work on Friday morning to discover the damage that had been caused by suspected pro-Palestinian activists.
Avnet Abacus –an electronic components distributor - rents a space in the building and has been approached for comment.
The owner of the building declined to comment on the incident.
Greater Manchester Police previously confirmed that their officers are making inquiries and investigations are ongoing.
