Man charged with hate crimes to appear in court Tuesday

A man accused of defacing the home of an interracial Newmarket couple will appear in court Tuesday.

Anthony Burke, 63, is facing two counts of mischief, and one count each of utter threats and criminal harassment.

Police were called to the home of Rita Brown and Seun Oyinsan on four separate occasions after reports of vandalism and threats between September 2011 and January 2012. The victims’ home and vehicles were damaged three times during that span.

In January, York Regional police said Burke had a previous relationship with Brown.
