Woman arrested after Pride, Every Child Matters flags vandalized on Eastern Shore
Nova Scotia RCMP have arrested a 64-year-old woman from Dartmouth following a "hate-motivated crime" involving vandalized Pride and Every Child Matters flags in Lower Ship Harbour late last month.
In a news release, police said they received a report of mischief at a residential property on West Ship Harbour Road on March 25.
"The mischief is considered to be motivated by hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression," the release said Wednesday.
In an earlier release on March 31 about the same incident, police said a Pride flag and an Every Child Matters flag located at the end of a driveway had been vandalized.
The Pride flag is associated with the 2SLGBTQ+ community and the Every Child Matter flag acknowledges the harm caused by residential schools to Indigenous children.
Police arrested a suspect on April 6. She will be facing a charge of mischief. She has since been released and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on May 12.
