An investigation into hate speech being spray-painted throughout downtown Niagara Falls has led to the arrest of a 71-year-old man.
Buildings on Queen Street, Bridge Street and Zimmerman Avenue were targeted in March.
Niagara Regional Police arrested a suspect Friday.
He is charged with mischief under $5,000.
Police said there could be other incidents that were not reported and are asking residents and businesses in the affected area to review video surveillance footage and report if they see vandalism occurring.
Police are asking anyone with information to call 905-688-4111, option 3, ext. 1008915.
Information can also be submitted anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at CrimeStoppersNiagara.ca.

Not much information here.
I assume it was a Leftist spray-painting “Kill the Leftists” to stir things up, or something similar.
You misspell “Niagara” and you could get into big trouble...
Slowly I turned…
What did he spray-paint?? Who was the man??
Useless!
Canadian hate speech. I’ll take a guess that the Canadian interpretation of what hate speech is all encompassing. The slightest hint of hate will not be tolerated.
Spray painting other people’s stuff is wrong pal. 180 days in prison .
Canadians will be shot, no?
He forgot that Canada is a bilingual country, and hate speech must be in both English and French.
OMG, what’s this world coming to? /sarc
Maybe he was spray painting Rush is Right…
I came here for exactly that. Saying Niagara Falls constitutes fighting words.
Investigated for “hate speech” but only charged with “mischief.”
Possibly the perp belongs to a protected class if he was charged merely for “mischief.”
Name is Pierre Vaillant. Probably illegal in Canada to print the hate speech that he (allegedly) spray-painted.
Ironic speech would be something like “I Hate Taggers.”

Did he paint “God Bless Canada” or something similarly “hateful”?
Good one. I live in Dallas and am 71. Am I a suspect??
