Case of Antigonish Co. graffiti suspect scheduled to open in court

A teen charged after racist graffiti was spray-painted in Antigonish Co. is scheduled to make his first court appearance in the case Wednesday.

Police say the suspect, 17, who can’t be identified because of his age, faces a count of public incitement of hatred and four mischief counts.

They say he was released on conditions following his arrest; he’s expected for an arraignment hearing in Antigonish Youth Court.

Racist graffiti was found on East Antigonish Education Centre/Academy, a school bus and a nearby sign in March.

RCMP say the charges come after those findings, along with others within the Town of Antigonish.
