THUNDER BAY – CRIME – The ugly head of apparent racism has shown up in the Northwood Ward. Three vehicles on Ashland Place were vandalized.
The Thunder Bay Police Service report that the service has had three complainants from citizens who discovered that their vehicles had been spray painted on Thursday morning on Ashland Place.
The damage according to police in a media statement is extensive with profane and racial comments being written all over the vehicles. Some of the pictures of the vandalized vehicles were posted on social media. The messages are simply too disgusting to repost pictures.
