Swastikas and “Jews did it, 9/11” graffiti appears in Toronto area park
Police in Ontario are appealing for witnesses after antisemitic graffiti appeared in Richmond Hill.
Located in the Greater Toronto Area, Richmond Hill is one of the York’s largest towns. The graffiti, which includes swastikas and blames Jews for 9/11, appeared on 13th October.
Shortly after 13:00 on that day, police were called to a neighbourhood park after antisemitic and other racist graffiti was reported. When officers arrived, they also found that a bench had been vandalised.
Investigators, including from the York Regional Police Hate Crime Unit, are asking witnesses or anyone with information or video footage to come forward.
