The Langley RCMP  is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying three youths believed to be responsible for vandalizing a recently painted rainbow crosswalk while operating electric dirt bikes.

On June 22, the Township of Langley Public Works Department installed a new rainbow crosswalk at the intersection of Mary Street and Glover Road in Fort Langley. The following day, damage to the crosswalk was discovered and reported to police.

“Following a review of video surveillance from the area, investigators observed three individuals, believed to be youths, riding electric dirt bikes and intentionally damaging the crosswalk,” said Sergeant Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP . “Police are releasing photographs of the individuals and the electric dirt bikes involved in hopes that members of the public may be able to assist investigators in identifying those responsible."

The rainbow crosswalk was installed as a symbol of inclusion, diversity, and community pride. Damage to public infrastructure, particularly features intended to celebrate community values and inclusivity, not only affects the broader community but also results in unnecessary repair and maintenance costs.

In addition to this vandalism investigation, Langley RCMP  continues to receive reports regarding the operation of electric dirt bikes on public roads, sidewalks, crosswalks, parks, and other public spaces. Many of the electric dirt bikes currently being operated in the community are not street legal and do not meet provincial requirements for use on public roadways.

The growing popularity of these vehicles has raised increasing public safety concerns, including dangerous driving behaviours, risks to pedestrians, and damage to public property. Police are working with partners to address these concerns through enforcement and public education.

Anyone who recognizes the individuals depicted in the released photographs, or who has information related to this incident, is asked to contact the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and reference file 2026-19678
