Calgary police say they have identified the two suspects in the anti-Muslim vandalism at the Tuscany LRT station last week — and one has been arrested.

Police say they know who the second man is and are awaiting a warrant to execute an arrest.

Calgary police released images on Tuesday of the two suspects. 

They were seen on CCTV entering the Tuscany station around 5:45 p.m. on Dec. 3 and using gold spray paint to write messages throughout the station, on a C-Train car and on five private vehicles parked outside.

Police have classified the vandalism as a hate-motivated crime.

Charges aren't likely to be laid until Thursday morning when the suspect who is currently in custody is expected to go before a justice of the peace.

Police have not said what charges the pair will face.
