BROADWAY – RCMP in Nova Scotia are investigating racist graffiti painted along a highway in Pictou County.

Police said in an emailed statement Wednesday that the graffiti depicted an antisemitic symbol.

Mounties say the graffiti was reported July 28 along Highway 104 in Broadway, N.S.

They say a man driving a 2008 white Chevrolet Express cargo van was seen near the area where it was painted.

Police say the antisemitic graffiti was painted over by a construction crew in the area shortly after it was reported.

RCMP say they take hate-motivated instances very seriously and are asking anyone with information to reach out to police.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 5, 2026.
