The Sir John A. MacDonald statue in Baden has been vandalized for the second time in three days.

More red paint has been poured on it.

On Tuesday morning, the statue, located on Snyder's Road West, was covered in a tarp again.

Waterloo Regional Police tell us they believe the incident happened sometime overnight.

The Criminal Investigations Branch is now looking into both incidents.

Red paint was also poured on the statue early Sunday morning.
