Hate crimes investigators are looking into whether graffiti scrawled on the side of the Chinese Consular-General building in Calgary was motivated by hate.
The graffiti, seen painted on the building on Wednesday, was sprayed on the building by three people dressed in black, according to police. “They spray painted vulgar phrases referencing COVID-19 along the north wall of the building and left,” police said in a news release.
Police did not provide any details on what the nature of the graffiti was. According to police, it’s the second time in over week the building has been targeted by vandals — last Tuesday, graffiti was painted on the sidewalk outside the facility, though it didn’t reference COVID-19.
