An online report on June 7 led to the investigation by the hate and bias crime unit into the incident at the home of a South Korean family on Maynooth Court in Barrhaven, police said.

“We continue to encourage anyone who witnesses or experiences such incidents to report them to police. Reporting hate-motivated incidents is an important step in stopping cycles of hatred,” Friday’s police statement said.
