It also branded the police officers stupid in a scathing comment.

It read: "Stupidity is not considered to be a handicap.

"Park somewhere else."

West Yorkshire Police PCSO Michelle Owens‏, who patrols the Morley South Ward, tweeted about the incident, calling it "completely unacceptable."

PCSO Owens said: "I’ve just been informed that yesterday Whist a crime scene investigator was at a premises in Morley collecting evidence from a burglary, a member of the public has stuck this to their vehicle.

"Completely unacceptable when we are trying to do our job!"
