Roughly seven weeks after students arrived at B. Davison Secondary School to find hate-motivated graffiti on the front doors, London police have charged two teenage boys.
Police were first called to the scene at 8:30 a.m. Feb. 22 to find the words “Arabs R Terrorists” and “Gay Fags” spray-painted on the front doors. The case was then reassigned from the Criminal Investigations Unit to the Street Gang Unit – which is also responsible for investigating hate-motivated crimes.
