Graffiti targeting Justin Trudeau was found on the property of a Peterborough arena just hours before the Liberal leader is set to arrive in the city for a campaign stop.
The spray-painted, anti-Trudeau graffiti, which read “Hang Trudeau,” was found on brick on an electronic sign and a garbage bin storage unit outside the Evinrude Centre on Monaghan Road.
Arena staff spent Thursday morning removing the graffiti.
Trudeau is scheduled to hold a campaign rally with Peterborough-Kawartha Liberal candidate Maryam Monsef at the Evinrude Centre at 6:30 p.m.
The Peterborough Police Service told Global News Peterborough they are investigating the incident.
