The investigation into the discovery of a noose at the Windsor Assembly Plant is now finished by Windsor police.
Police say they are "satisfied" that nothing criminal happened in these incidents, which were initially thought to be racial harassment. Last month a noose was found at a worker's station on three separate occasions.
Constable Andrew Drouillard says at least one of the people responsible was found and it was determined the noose was "unintentional." He says these types of rope with loops are used for different things around the plant and one was "thrown by the garbage." After speaking with someone involved, police determined it was random and wasn't intended to discriminate or harass another worker.
Windsor police and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles both launched an investigation into the matter. Earlier this month Chrysler set up a hotline with hopes of getting tips from workers.
Chrysler won't release the outcome of its investigation and whether disciplinary actions, if any, were taken against the worker(s) involved. “FCA Canada would like to thank the Windsor police for their investigation of this matter and we support their findings. The safety and security of all employees remains our first priority. We take all allegations of inappropriate behavior seriously and will continue to investigate any incident or behavior deemed to be in violation of FCA’s standards of conduct," says LouAnn Gosselin, FCA Canada Head of Communications, in an email to BlackburnNews.com
The complainant has been told about the outcome of the investigation and was satisfied with the results, police say.
