Canada – Teen wanted for Calgary antisemitic graffiti

Calgary police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for an 18-year-old youth in relation to a number of racially-motivated graffiti incidents last year.

But police added they cannot name the youth, since the crimes were committed while the suspect was 17, putting him under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Police say they issued the warrants after a thorough investigation of the vandalism at various locations in the city. Targets, including the Calgary Jewish Centre and the Holocaust memorial, were marked with antisemitic slogans and signs last November.

Police say the suspect is facing charges of mischief and hate-related offences.
