Appeal after mosque in Glasgow vandalised

Officers are appealing for information after a place of worship was vandalised.

On Monday, 27 October, 2025, we received a report of racially aggravated graffiti at a mosque in Adelphi Street, Glasgow.

The incident happened between 5pm on Sunday, 26 October and 9am on Monday, 27 October.

Our investigation is ongoing and this is being treated as hate crime.

Chief Inspector Paul Daley said: "I understand this will be deeply upsetting for both the local and Muslim communities in Glasgow and I want to reassure them we take this kind of offending seriously.

"Such vile graffiti is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

"We are carrying out extensive enquiries and I am asking anyone with information about this incident to please contact us.

"You can speak to officers by calling 101 and quoting reference 1222 of 27 October, 2025.

Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
