Attack on property 'racially motivated'

From the archive, first published Wednesday 31st Aug 2005.

POLICE believe an attack on a Portuguese-occupied house in Chard on Friday was racially motivated.

At around 2.30am on Friday morning, vandals used two boulders to smash the window of a house in Holyrood Street.

The incident follows attacks on two Portuguese cafes in Chard this month, Cafe Moca and Costa Brava. The latter of these attacks is also being treated as a racist incident.
