Arrest Made in Golden Ears Provincial Park Graffiti Incident
The suspect turned himself in and was released on a promise to appear as police prepare possible mischief charges.
- Maple Ridge RCMP arrested a man last week after he turned himself in for spray painting rocks along Gold Creek in Golden Ears Provincial Park; he has since been released on a promise to appear in court.
- Witnesses suggest the graffiti served as a memorial for a man who drowned at the Lower Falls on Aug 3, and a social media video of the painted rocks subsequently provoked widespread public reaction.
- Officers are preparing reports for a possible mischief charge as the investigation continues, while Parks staff are conducting a parallel investigation under the Parks Act.
- Authorities are cautioning the public to avoid drawing conclusions until all facts have been fully examined, acknowledging significant public interest and resident concerns regarding the incident.
- Police extend sympathies to the family and friends of the drowning victim and encourage those wishing to pay respects to do so through appropriate, legal means rather than unauthorized acts that harm the environment.
