Bradford police review handling of family's complaint on pig's heads dumped in garden

Senior police officers in Bradford are reviewing the way a Muslim family?s complaint about pig?s heads being dumped in their garden was dealt with.
Sophia Ditta revealed how her family found four heads outside their home in Bolton, Bradford.
Police said they were treating the incident as a hate crime.
Now Bradford East MP, David Ward, has raised the issue with Chief Superintendent Simon Atkin, Divisional Commander of Bradford South Police.
Mr Ward met Mrs Ditta, after she contacted him to make others aware and raise concerns about the police handling of the case.
Mr Ward said: ?It is shocking to hear that some families have been targeted in such a disgusting way. No one should have to suffer because of their faith or race.
?I have met with the Divisional Commander, who shares my sentiments that this was not handled well, and he has told me that they will be reviewing this.?
Mrs Ditta said: ?My family have lived in Bradford for more than 60 years and have never had this type of racism thrown at us. It is clearly a reaction to the awful murder of the soldier in Woolwich.
"I?m disappointed with the police's systematic reaction to this racial harassment. The officers were sympathetic, but they clearly have a lack of resources to do anything which means this type of attack falls way below their list of priorities. I don't blame any of the officers; I blame the systems they are being forced to work to.
"I want to raise awareness about this harassment and let other people in the community know that they do not have to suffer in silence if they have been victims of racial harassment."
Chief Superintendent Atkin, said: "I visited David Ward about an unrelated matter and during that visit he understandably raised his concerns over this issue.
?I have since asked the Neighbourhood Policing Chief Inspector to look into the circumstances of how this matter was dealt with to ensure that a comprehensive and thorough investigation has, and still is, being undertaken and to also ascertain if there are any lessons we need to learn as individuals or as an organization. Such a review is not unusual."
