"The OPP's Hate/Extremism Unit continues to be engaged, and an active investigation is continuing. Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed these incidents or who has information to come forward," police said in a news release.

Investigators are asking Orillia residents to review available video surveillance footage from the evening of Saturday, June 13, to Sunday, June 14, 2026. Anyone with video that may assist in identifying a suspect or who observed suspicious activity during that time is asked to contact the OPP.

Police are also requesting that anyone who received a package containing antisemitic material contact investigators.
