The envelope was taken away by officers for forensic analysis.
Excrement was posted to the Conservative’s South Ribble general election campaign office. The incident has been described by the party’s parliamentary candidate Katherine Fletcher as a disgusting attack on democracy. Police are investigating the incident at the office in Liverpool Road, Longton, after it was discovered by one of Katherine’s volunteers on Thursday morning.
“But the person who thought this might succeed is very much mistaken and they have already failed.” The excrement had been placed in a prepaid survey return envelope but apparently hand delivered. The envelope was taken away by officers for forensic analysis to see if it was possible to identify who sent it and what type of excrement it was.
