VANCOUVER – Police in Vancouver are investigating after graffiti was discovered on the front doors of a local mosque.
Vancouver police say the case was reported by a maintenance worker, who flagged down patrolling officers in the area of West 8th Avenue on Friday morning.
The worker from the Al Masjid Al Jamia Mosque told police that graffiti that read “UK blood is on your hand” was spray-painted across the mosque’s front doors.
No suspect has been identified or arrested.
Police say they have increased patrols in the area of the mosque and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Investigators are also actively collecting evidence, and say police would like to assure Vancouver’s Muslim community that the crime will not be tolerated and may be pursued as a hate crime if evidence supports it.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 13, 2026.
