The erection of a banner in County Tyrone is being treated as a hate incident by police.

It has been fastened to a play park fence.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said it received a report of a banner erected in the Moygashel area on Friday.

Neighbourhood inspector Robert Jeffers said enquiries are ongoing.

"We are engaging with local partners in relation to the banner," he added.

Mid Ulster Council said it had referred the matter to the PSNI.

Sinn FΓ©in MLA Colm Gildernew said that "those who erected this vile banner have nothing to offer our society".

He called on political representatives and community leaders to "strongly condemn this banner and call for its immediate removal".

"There is no place in our society for racism," Gildernew said.

"This banner has clearly been erected to sow division in the community and target one part of the community."
