Montreal police treat vehicles spray painted with red swastikas as hate crime

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Feb, 2015 10:38 AM

    Montreal police say they're treating the spray painting of vehicles with red swastikas in an apartment garage as a hate crime.

    The vandalism was first noticed after a fire alarm sounded in the apartment on Monday evening in the city's west end.

    Police spokesman Louis Heroux says firefighters didn't find any fire, but noticed four vehicles in the underground garage had been vandalized.

    Red swastikas were spray painted on their hoods and the windshield of one vehicle had been smashed.

    Heroux says investigators are treating the incident as a hate crime.

    There have been no arrests.
