A 59-year-old Cambridge, Ont., man faces additional charges of theft, attempted theft and mischief charges after police investigated Pride signs being stolen and a banner being torn down in the city last month.
Police say there were several instances of Pride items being taken or damaged in "hate-related incidents":
The signs had been located at businesses in the area of Ainslie Street South and Main Street in Cambridge.
The suspect was initially charged on July 9 with six counts of mischief under $5,000 and one count of uttering threats to cause death.
Police say on Monday, the suspect was further charged with three counts of theft, attempt theft and mischief under $5,000.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Sarnia City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday morning to respond to social media comments made by Coun. Bill Dennis, who criticized city spending on a new mural by Indigenous artist Kennady Osborne as “virtue signalling by woke politicians” — then made a series of comments in response to a reply from Aamjiwnaang Chief Janelle Nahmabin that some have characterized as unprofessional and aggressive.
