A 31-year-old man is facing charges after six antisemitic graffiti messages were found in Halifax over the weekend.
Two images were found on synagogues and three others found on sidewalks nearby.
Police say the suspect was arrested at his home Tuesday and will appear in court, Wednesday, facing these charges:
- Mischief related to religious property (x3)
- Property damage (x3)
- Public Incitement of Hatred (x1)
“I am pleased with the outcome of this investigation. While I credit the quick and thorough work of HRP’s hate crime investigator, I also want to thank the public who came forward to help identify the suspect,” said Chief Don MacLean. “The swift and seamless collaboration between police and the community represents our city taking a strong and unified stance against the promotion of hatred.”
