One bore the inscription “Macron” — the French president’s surname.

The gruesome finds were made by Muslim worshippers as they arrived for morning prayers. The religion preaches that pigs are ritually unclean.

Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said: “Pig heads were discovered on the public road in front of the entrance to several mosques in the metropolitan area.

“Everything is being done to find the perpetrators of these despicable acts.”
