York Regional Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect who allegedly wrote hate-motivated graffiti on a car in a Walmart parking lot in Markham last month.

Police responded to a property damage call at a Walmart located at 500 Copper Creek Drive on Apr. 29.

A male suspect parked next to a vehicle that had a Ukrainian flag on the dashboard.

Police say the suspect used a sharp object to scratch the paint on the victim's vehicle and engraved several derogatory words on the driver's side door.

The suspect then fled the scene in a white two-door Smart car.

The suspect is described as having a heavy build, bald and was wearing glasses, a dark jacket and dark pants.
