That graffiti is believed to have occurred sometime over the last weekend.
Also on Monday afternoon, a man went into a business on Main Street in Cambridge and removed a Pride flag sticker from the window.
He then ran away from the store with the sticker in hand.
Finally, someone parked a motorcycle in a parking lot off George Street North near Blair Road on Friday at around 6:20 p.m.
Police say the victim left the lot near the Cambridge-North Dumfries border and when they got back to their bike, it had been knocked over and damaged.
They say the damage to the vehicle included hate-motivated writing.
A police spokesperson said they are investigating all of the incidents separately and that there is no indication that they are connected.
