VicPD investigating white supremacist graffiti at ballpark in Esquimalt

Share

Victoria Police are investigating white supremacist graffiti left at an Esquimalt ballpark on Sunday.

The graffiti was discovered shortly after 2 p.m. at Lions Park located in the 800-block of Lampson Street.

The graffiti included white supremacist content.

The hate graffiti comes just days after an overnight vandalism spree saw private and public property tagged with graffiti echoing statements regarding Beacon Hill Park and Bylaw.

Later that same day, a headless Queen Elizabeth II statue was discovered in Beacon Hill Park which has still not been recovered.

There’s no evidence that these events are linked but it continues a trend of graffiti and tagging around Victoria these past two weeks.

The white supremacist graffiti content has since been covered by paint.

Patrol officers are seeking witnesses and information on any of the events.

Anyone with information on this incident or the graffiti spree last week, VicPD are asking you to call their non-emergency at 250-995-7654.
