Ottawa police have made an arrest in an investigation into antisemitic posters found in west-end neighbourhoods.
Wednesday, police announced that 29-year-old Paul Koppe of Ottawa faces 26 counts of hate-motivated mischief.
Early last month, Ottawa police notified the public that posters with “anti-Semitic and hateful content” were discovered near a skate park off Centrepointe Drive.
Eight similar incidents were also reported across the city’s west end and in Barrhaven, police said on Nov. 8.
