Queens District RCMP continues to investigate mischief at the Liverpool tourist bureau.

Between the evening of Jan. 8 and early morning hours of Jan. 9, someone had vandalized the building with various forms of graffiti.

A photo of a person believed to be involved in the incident was released to the public in the hopes of identifying them.

RCMP investigators have since learned that, later that morning (Jan. 9), a dark-coloured sedan with Ontario license plates parked at the tourist bureau. The driver exited the vehicle and met with another man who approached on foot. RCMP say the two people had a discussion, expressing the same hateful language that had been spray painted on the tourist bureau.

The driver of the vehicle is described as being in his early 20s with dark hair.

The man who was on foot had a beard.

Investigators say this act of mischief is consistent with being motivated by bias, prejudice or hate against an identifiable group.

Anyone with information, or dash camera footage of the area on Jan. 10, is asked to contact the Queens District RCMP at 902-354-5721.
