A Whangārei mother says racial abuse against her fearful family continues while police are investigating her home being targeted by racist graffiti.
Stephanie Thomas' family lives on Cemetery Rd, Maunu, and had their car and letterbox spray-painted with racist slurs, including the N-word, while they slept on Monday night.
"Get out n*****'' and 'scum' were spray-painted in pink on the side and back of their silver Nissan Demio and a swastika on their letterbox.
They were initially reluctant to report the matter to police but Thomas went to the Whangārei police station on Tuesday afternoon to lodge a complaint.
