Hate Crimes Against East Asians Surged In April: Vancouver Police

The Vancouver Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying suspects in two separate incidents against the city’s East-Asian community.
The first incident happened April 2 after a man was caught on camera defacing windows of a Chinese cultural centre with “racist remarks” in the city’s Chinatown.
