It appears whoever spray painted an anti-Ukraine message at the home of a Langley teacher has done it again.

But this time, others have taken action to remove the messages, Willoughby resident Kiersten Bisgaard told the Langley Advance Times on Sunday, March 19.

Bisgaard said the new graffiti was left sometime between Friday night, March 17, and Saturday morning, March 18.

鈥淭hey hit our gate again, this time with a cross,鈥 Bisgaard said.

鈥淚鈥檓 not really sure what that has to do with anything.鈥

Most of the badly-spelled graffiti was painted on the sidewalk with messages like 鈥渦krain[sic] = Nazi,鈥 鈥淛esus is king,鈥 鈥渦krain[sic] are the devil,鈥 鈥渢he Nazi die,鈥 etc.

鈥淢ost of these messages are between our complex and the next, where it is mostly trees, including up the trail behind Serenity and up through Nature鈥檚 Walk,鈥 Bisgaard said.

There was also a message sprayed on the pathway in the SE corner of Richard Bullpit Elementary.

鈥淭he police have been notified again and I have provided a statement,鈥 Bisgaard said.

On Sunday, Bisgaard was out adding some 鈥減ositive messages鈥 with chalk, and noticed some of the offending graffiti had either been covered over, or removed, by supportive neighbours.

If anyone sees anything suspicious, like someone carrying a spray can, she urges calling the RCMP non-emergency number at 604-532-3200.

She and her husband will be installing security cameras.

Langley RCMP Cpl. Craig van Herk earlier said the detachment is investigating a 鈥渞eport of concerning, derogatory graffiti being spray painted on the sidewalk and gate in front of a residence.

Cpl. van Herk said the incident remains under investigation and police are asking anyone with information to contact the Langley RCMP.
