Durham Regional Police are asking any witnesses to come forward after an incident of hate-motivated graffiti in Oshawa on Sunday.

“Investigators believe the victim’s home was specifically targeted and are appealing to anyone in the area who may have information to come forward,” a Durham police release states.

“We are deeply concerned and disheartened by this act of hate and property damage directed toward the 2SLGBTQI+ community and all those impacted by this senseless act.”

No suspect description was provided by police.
