Halton police have arrested a person of interest and are looking to identify a second in a series of hate crimes in Burlington.
They say six alleged crimes took place from May 21 to June 2 in Burlington.
The alleged incidents involved anti-Semitic or racist messages being posted on vehicles, traffic posts and municipal buildings.
One alleged incident targeted vehicles in a church parking lot near Mainway and Walkers Line, while others targeted the Burlington Art Gallery and Burlington City Hall.
The person of interest identified has since been released and former charges are pending as the investigation is ongoing.
They are still looking for the second person of interest and anyone with information is asked to contact to police.
