WATERLOO, Ont. – Police say they received complaints about a message that was spray painted on a bed sheet and hung outside a house in Waterloo, Ont., on Saturday during a university’s homecoming celebrations.

Waterloo regional police say the sign had an “inappropriate” message and that officers attended the residence immediately to ensure it was taken down.

Police say the sign read, “She called you daddy 4 18 years. Now it’s our turn.”

Police say they share the community’s concern over what the police force calls a “demeaning and disturbing message.”
