Police Chief Charles Bordeleau says an arrest has been made in connection with a series of racist and anti-Semitic incidents that have taken place in Ottawa over the past week.
News of the arrest was made Saturday morning by police Chief Charles Bordeleau at the Machzikei Hadas Synagogue in south Ottawa where an overflow crowd of about 600 had gathered to show solidarity against the week-long string of racist graffiti.
The news was greeted by thunderous applause by the interfaith gathering.
Bordeleau later told reporters that a young offender had been arrested in the early morning hours of Saturday at the Jewish Community Centre on Broadview Avenue.
Bordeleau said while he didn’t know the details, there was hate graffiti found on the JCC.
The youth is now in a police cellblock being interviewed by police.
No charges have been laid.
Bordeleau wouldn’t offer any details about the police investigation, only to offer his support to the work of the force.
“Of course, this is good news and as the investigation continues, we’re hoping to determine whether this individual is related to (the other incidents) in Ottawa this week,” he said
Mayor Jim Watson told reporters it was obviously a relief to hear that someone had been arrested.
However, both Bordeleau and Watson admitted there’s always a concern for copycat offenders.
More to come.
