Mounties in Leduc are asking for assistance to identify those involved in the vandalism to the Pride crosswalk installed at 50 Street and 47 Avenue.

The RCMP says on June 24, they were notified that black tire marks were left across the Pride crosswalk.

The crosswalk was painted last week as a symbol of inclusion in the city.
