Police are investigating vandalism and racist graffiti at the site of a new First Nations community south of Campbell River.
On June 15, police were notified of damaged construction equipment and graffiti at the construction site for the new Tlowitsis First Nations Village on Henry Road.
Constable Maury Tire said equipment, including light stands and generators, was damaged and the excavators had shattered windows and glass.
“The graffiti left behind was mostly illegible, but one racist term was clearly in evidence, the ‘N’ word,” he says. “The damage to the construction site is extensive and will cost approximately $25,000 to repair. At this point, it is too early in the investigation to determine whether the vandals’ actions were simply a senseless crime of opportunity or a targeted act.
Police are now seeking the public’s help in identifying those responsible. Anyone with information can call the RCMP non-emergency line at 250-286-6221, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
