Stratford's new rainbow pride crosswalk vandalized by 'hate-motivated' graffiti: police
CBC
Police in Stratford, Ont., are investigating an act of what they're calling "hate-motivated graffiti" of a newly completed rainbow pride crosswalk in that city.
The crosswalk, located at Wellington and Downie streets in downtown Stratford, was being constructed earlier this week.
Stratford Police Service were called to the scene by city workers around 1:30 a.m. on Friday for reports household paint had been dumped across the crosswalk and dark spray paint had been used as well.
"It appeared that the damage had been caused fairly recently as the paint was still wet," a release sent out by police on Friday said.
Police thanked the workers who reported the damage and then removed much of the paint using a pressure washer and street sweeper.
"Without your assistance the damage could have been much more extensive," the release said of the workers.
Police conducted a "thorough search of the area in an attempt to locate any evidence" but were unable to find any suspects.
