Hate-motivated crimes not only affect individual victims, but also negatively impact the community at large.
These types of crimes have consequences that reach far beyond a specific incident and are particularly concerning because they can foster community unrest. The Brantford Police Service is invested in the betterment of our community and works diligently to provide a safe and inclusive community for all of Brantford’s residents.
Investigators are asking any members of the public who reside close to or were near the location(s) of the incident, and who have not already done so, to review any video surveillance footage which may have captured the suspect(s). Anyone with any information is asked to contact BPS at 519-756-7050.
