    Greater Manchester Police have charged a man after racist graffiti was found in a block of flats in Salford.

    Vaughan Dowd, 54, has been charged with criminal damage and racially aggravated criminal damage.

    David Yamba, 10, found "No Blacks" painted on three doors in his block in Salford on 8 February, five days after his family had moved in.

    David's father, trainee lawyer Jackson Yamba, claimed officers did not follow up his initial report until he tweeted the force a week later.

    Greater Manchester Police's chief constable apologised for a delay in sending officers to investigate.
