Durham Police are investigating a “hate motivated incident” that occurred during a City of Pickering Zoom meeting on February 11.
“During the meeting, unidentified individuals reportedly shouted racial slurs, one person drew a swastika, and another exposed themselves.”
Durham Police were notified of the incident on February 14 and issued the press statement on February 21 after local media reported on the story.
Pickering Council is presently meeting online following threats by supporters of an ultra right-wing councillor. The Ontario Province Police are investigating the threats.
None of the local reporting is linking the latest incident to the other threats.
