Calgary investigators are asking for help with two vandalism cases that included threatening messages.
The incidents, which 660 NEWS first reported shortly after they happened, occurred Saturday, December 2, just blocks away from each other.
Police say sometime in the early morning hours, a 1973 converted school bus was spray-painted and a bedsheet with threatening messages was found in front of a home on Deerview Drive S.E.
Misty Wind-Shingoose, who lives at the home, owns the bus that is being converted to provide mobile haircuts to the homeless.
She spoke with CityNEWS that weekend and said the message included rape threats and that she should take her bus ‘back to the reserve.’
On the same day, a woman had a rock thrown through her front window with a note that contained similar threats.
Police believe the incidents are targeted and related, and they’re working with the force’s hate crimes coordinator to investigate.
