Police say they have concluded an investigation after graffiti was located at a park in Georgina, Ont.
In a press release, York Regional Police said just after 8 a.m. on March 22, officers were called to Constable Garrett Styles Park in the area of Laurendale and Terrell avenues.
Officers said areas of the park and equipment had been vandalized with anti-Black and offensive graffiti.
Later the same day, police were called to a house in Georgina after two children confessed they were responsible.
Police said the children were “remorseful for their actions.”
Due to their age, one of the children was given a warning. Police said they discussed the consequences with the child’s family.
The older child was eligible for the community referral program, an alternative resolution for youth that have committed a criminal offence.
Police encouraged parents to have an “ongoing dialogue” with children about how their actions impact the community.
