Olds RCMP investigate vandalized pride crosswalk

Someone in Olds burned tire marks into the pride crosswalk two months ago, according to police, and they’re hoping to find out who’s responsible.

Local RCMP are investigating after the crosswalk at Olds College was vandalized.

Police said on July 26, college security staff informed RCMP that a vehicle was doing burnouts on the rainbow-painted crosswalk.

In a news release on Sept. 7, Olds RCMP said they’re looking to speak to the driver of a maroon-coloured Dodge pickup truck. Police allege “this wasn’t the first time they had seen this vehicle doing burnouts at this location.”
