The OPP released three images of a women they described to be "a person of interest." She is wearing sunglasses and a mask which may make it difficult to identify her.
The women had painted "BLM" in red paint over a plaque that reads "dedicated to the police officers who served the people of Ontario. Heroes in life not death."
The statue was said to be vandalized on June 20 at Ontario's legislature in downtown Toronto. The police are asking the public for information regarding the suspect.
