The RCMP say they are investigating a hate-motivated crime after a Pride flag was ripped down at a Nova Scotia school.
The Mounties in Pictou County say that early Saturday someone tore a Pride flag off a pole outside West Pictou Consolidated School in Lyons Brook.
Police say the flagpole was bent during the theft at around 4:50 a.m.
The Mounties released a photo showing a man driving a grey Ford F150 pickup truck with a ladder in the back, not far from where the vandalism was reported.
RCMP say they are looking for a man with facial hair who was at the wheel of the truck.
