Police are looking for information after more anti-Muslim graffiti was found on a bench along the waterfront trail in Ajax on Tuesday.

Durham Regional Police said they were called to the area of Lakeview Boulevard and Poplar Avenue, where officers later discovered the graffiti.

A similar hate-motivated graffiti was reported at the same location early last month, police said.

“We recognize the impact these incidents can have on our community, particularly the Muslim community. Acts that target or instill fear in any group are unacceptable and are taken very seriously,” police said in a news release on Wednesday.

“We remain committed to ensuring the safety, dignity, and well-being of everyone in our community.”

Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact them at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2906 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
