DC Chris Reed said: “Alison Chabloz, in full knowledge of the conditions that had been imposed for her previous offending, deliberately set out to cause serious offence and concern, in particular to the Jewish community.

“Her disregard for those conditions, and for the impact she knew her words would have, have rightly seen her jailed.

“This case should show everyone, whether offender or victim, that as a force we take this type of offending seriously and will seek to bring those responsible to justice.”
