Antigonish Co. graffiti suspect has case adjourned

A teen arrested after racist graffiti was spray-painted in Antigonish Co. is scheduled to return to court in the spring.

Police say the suspect, 18, who can’t be identified because he was 17 when he was charged, faces a count of public incitement of hatred and four mischief counts.

They say he was released on conditions following his arrest.

His case opened in May; it was referred to the province’s Restorative Justice program in October.

He had a status update in Antigonish Youth Court Wednesday; he’s expected back in court for another April 3.

Racist graffiti was found on East Antigonish Education Centre/Academy, a school bus and a nearby sign in March; charges were laid after those findings, along with others within the Town of Antigonish.
