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.

91ƵThey hit our gate again, this time with a cross,91Ƶ Bisgaard said.

91ƵI91Ƶm not really sure what that has to do with anything.91Ƶ

Most of the badly-spelled graffiti was painted on the sidewalk with messages like 91Ƶukrain[sic] = Nazi,91Ƶ 91ƵJesus is king,91Ƶ 91Ƶukrain[sic] are the devil,91Ƶ 91Ƶthe Nazi die,91Ƶ etc.

91ƵMost of these messages are between our complex and the next, where it is mostly trees, including up the trail behind Serenity and up through Nature91Ƶs Walk,91Ƶ Bisgaard said.

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

91ƵThe police have been notified again and I have provided a statement,91Ƶ Bisgaard said.

On Sunday, Bisgaard was out adding some 91Ƶpositive messages91Ƶ 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 91Ƶreport 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.
