Man charged with hate-motivated criminal harassment directed at Russian Calgarians

A Calgary man has been charged with multiple counts of criminal harassment after the CPS hate crime team investigated a number of threats that were found to be hate-motivated.

Calgary police said they received reports around 8 p.m. on Oct. 11 that a man had called and made threats to staff and the church congregation at the All Saints Russian Orthodox Church on 8 Ave. N.E. Police said it is believed the church was targeted because of its Russian heritage and have deemed the threats to be hate-motivated, a news release said Thursday.
