The small town of Okotoks, Alta., had a Pride crosswalk defaced, and the incident was caught on surveillance video.
During a routine patrol on June 13, at 11:55 p.m., Okotoks RCMP officers say they noticed fresh white paint splashed across a rainbow crosswalk in Okotoks along with paint smeared on a crosswalk sign.
Police say surveillance in the area shows a male suspect on a skateboard carrying what is believed to be bags of white paint.
In a news release, Mounties said the suspect ran back and forth across the sidewalk spilling the paint and then wiped the post with it. The suspect was wearing a dark hoody and jeans and was carrying a skateboard.
Police say until they can identify and interview suspects, their exact motivations remain unknown. Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to contact the Okotoks RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
