Someone’s work van has also been vandalised with the same word.

The graffiti also appeared in other areas of the Lincolnshire market town with one poster in the Facebook group Bourne Rural Lincs, Lincolnshire (Group) saying “Headstart nursery, Jewsons & a car along Great Northern Gardens can be added to the list of properties these morons are defacing.”
