- Share via
Police are investigating the vandalism of a church as a potential hate crime.
A swastika and satanic symbols such as the number 666 were found painted on classroom walls of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 2225 N. Euclid St. last week.
“These are red flags that indicate this could be a hate crime,” Capt. John Petropulos said Tuesday.
Church officials reported the incident Nov. 19, he said. Damage to the church was estimated at $40,000.
