CALGARY, Alberta – Police have expanded their hunt for someone who targeted Jewish institutions including a Holocaust war memorial, spray painting Swastikas and anti-Jewish graffiti which has caused substantial damage and upset members of the community.
Extensive damage was caused at the Calgary Jewish Community Centre, the Holocaust Memorial and the Chabad Lubavitch Centre during the incident last Saturday.
Police have now released surveillance camera photos in the hope someone will recognize an individual and a vehicle parked near one of the places which was damaged by the hate graffiti.
“Overnight, between Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009, and Sunday, Nov. 15, 2009, unknown offender(s) spray painted numerous anti-Semitic slogans and signs on various locations in the communities of Pump Hill and Woodbine,” said a police statement.
“The graffiti appears to be targeting the Jewish community with slogans painted on the Calgary Jewish Centre and Holocaust memorial in Pump Hill, and the Chabad Lubavitch centre in Woodbine,” police said.
Vehicle seen in area of graffiti spraying.
“Police have located surveillance footage taken at the Chabad Lubavitch centre in Woodbine at approximately 10 p.m., on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009, that shows a man who may have information relating to the offences,” police said.
“The surveillance footage also shows a vehicle in the area approximately 10 minutes later. Police would like to trace the driver of this vehicle as they may have information that will assist the investigation,” they said.
Judy Shapiro, a public relations officer with the Calgary Jewish Community council said the graffiti caused extensive damage and was upsetting to the community.
Anyone who can identify the person or the vehicle seen in the surveillance film is asked to come forward to help police solve the case.

The Kettle calling the pot black
One inappropriate graffiti on a Jewish Center wall in Calgary Alberta makes the national news of Canada.. many Palestinian homes torn down in Israel makes very little news, What real unacceptable Hypocrisy. Peace in the middle east is never possible but it is not just the Arabs but the Jews themselves clearly who are part of the unacceptable problem. None of this is politically correct.
US ‘dismayed’ by Israel’s new settlements in Jerusalem Telegraph.co.uk – The White House has said it is dismayed by Israel’s decision to build new settler homes in Jerusalem saying it makes it harder to kick-start the peace talks.
Two different issues.
thenoncomformer your an idiot. Seriously two different issues, and this is a local news story that went national. National meaning in Canada if you do not understand. And yes this is upsetting to call people the level of RACISM and antisemitism. So shut up about this issue you Nazi white supremacist moron.
No it’s not, it’s just double standards for you
So this must be another jew controlled paper like 95% of the papers in the country. What’s the matter, up all hate it when the truth is pointed out about the double standards? Watch this where the come back with the insults of calling me anti semite, racist, bigot and so on. Tat is if they onot delete my comment altogether like they did the last time.
It is common knowledge that 99% of these “hate” “nazi” graffiti signs are done by jews to drum up sympathy. A jew will hit you up along side the head with a two by four and then crt out in pain that you hurt him/her.
When are their going to be hate laws passed by the government against jews and other non Whites like the hate crime laws against White people?
The only reason your racist comment has been allowed is so we can respond to you. How do you like the fact that this website is controlled by a Muslim? Hate laws apply all over Canada to include everyone. If you check this website through search you will find an abundance of stories dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian situation. But, when Canadians of any race, ethnicity, language are targets of hate you can expect that Vancouverite will write about it. Your hate shows in the fake email address you picked. Have_Jew_will_fry is as hateful as it can get. Your future comments will not be carried unless you are sensible and civil. End of story.
