Threats made toward staff and congregants of a Russian Orthodox church has led Calgary police to lay charges for what they are calling "hate-motivated" crimes. Police said a man called staff multiple times Tuesday evening at the All Saints Russian Orthodox Church, in the 900 block of Eighth Avenue N.E., and made threats toward staff and the church congregation. "As it is believed the church was targeted because of its Russian heritage, this incident has been deemed a hate-motivated crime," police said in a release Thursday. Police said officers received four additional reports of threats and harassment against Russian Calgarians on Tuesday, which investigators believe are all related.
