The account caused distress to several members of the public through comments that had been posted, said officers.
They said it was not believed the account was connected to the current craze of 'horror clown' pictures where people dress up and film themselves scaring innocent members of the public.
PCSO Ruth Williams from The Nedge Safer Neighbourhood Team said "We have identified the people behind this page and they have been dealt with accordingly.
"We have notified Instagram who are in the process of closing the account down.
"Once this is done the account and posts will no longer be viewable"
