Toronto police are investigating after a number of election signs were set on fire overnight in the city’s Scarborough-Agincourt riding.

Police received a call about two fires around 4:30 a.m. One was in the Warden Avenue and Bamburgh Circle area and another was close to Bamburgh Circle and McNicoll Avenue.

Pictures from both scenes showed charred election signs belonging to Conservative candidate Bin Chang and Liberal candidate Arnold Chan.

It’s not yet clear whether the fires are a case of petty vandalism or deliberate targeting of election signs, Const. Victor Kwong told CP24.

The fences the signs were posted to sustained some minor damage from the fires. No injuries were reported.
