Coaldale RCMP received complaints of graffiti at the Quads, the Coaldale Arena, the Senior Centre, St. Joseph’s school, and the Mennonite Church. The majority of the graffiti was tagged with the alias *ACE* and predominantly featured anti police ideology.

Staff Sergeant Glenn Henry, the Coaldale RCMP Detachment Commander, stated, “There is no justification or reason why someone would deface our Coaldale facilities, schools or churches.”

Staff Sergeant Henry is asking any member of the public who may have information to please come forward.
