It is the sixth incident of similar nature at the church.

Police have opened files into incidents at the Ladner United Church in the last several years, but despite “thorough investigations,” officials have never identified a suspect.

An incident in July 2022 was caught on camera and involved a masked man using a sharp-edged pole to slash at a Pride flag.

A church spokesperson said previously that the congregation would continue to display the flags despite the actions of vandals.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Delta police at 604-946-4411.
