Hamilton police are investigating after racist graffiti was reportedly discovered spray-painted on a building that used to house a bowling alley in the city’s east end.
Police say that sometime in the last week, a racist slur and several phallic symbols were spray-painted on the Skyway Lanes building on Melvin Avenue.
The business closed down earlier this year.
