Saint John Police are investigating a report of a hate-motivated incident which occurred online earlier this week during a virtual meeting.
Last Sunday, police say a local organization hosted an online conference, via Zoom, with members of the Muslim community.
During the meeting, individuals interrupted the event with racist comments and obscene material.
The Major Crime Unit is involved and police say hate-motivated crime will not be tolerated in Saint John.
The force says everyone deserves to be and feel safe in our community.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Saint John Police at 1-506-648-3333, or to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or 1-800-222-TIPS.
