Comox Valley RCMP are asking for help to identify a driver who they say is responsible for damaging a rainbow crosswalk in Downtown Courtenay last month. 

Police have released a photo of the truck, dated August 23, around 6:20 p.m., which shows the truck driving onto the Pride-themed rainbow crosswalk on 5th Street at Duncan Avenue. 

Cst. Monika Terragni with the Comox Valley RCMP is asking for anybody with information to contact the detachment to help them understand what took place. 

“Until we have had an opportunity to speak with the driver, we cannot speculate on the motivation behind this incident,” says Terragni. 

Investigators are hoping to identify the driver, the passenger and anyone who witnessed the event or recognizes the truck.
