Halifax District RCMP say two suspects were caught on the church's security camera

Police are investigating after another church in HRM was vandalized.

Halifax District RCMP say two suspects were briefly caught on the church's security camera while spraying foam on doors and spray painting derogatory comments on the building's exterior.

They have not yet released that footage to the public.

"Very few details were obtained from the video clip itself," said Cpl. Dal Hutchinson. "Just enough, a split second of two individuals who were on camera."

He said if police are able to pull a still shot from the footage, they will distribute that to the media.

It happened sometimes between 12:30 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. Wednesday on Sackville Drive between Skyridge Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue in Lower Sackville.

"This is not art, this is a poor excuse for attention," say's Cpl. Dal Hutchinson, Halifax District RCMP. "There are more appropriate ways to express yourself, this is not one of them."

Hutchinson said investigators will look for connections to previous incidents of vandalism.

Earlier this week, a Mount Olivet Cemetery and St. Theresa's Church were the target of vandals.

In a release sent out by the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth, they said sometime late Sunday or early Monday, religious statues and symbols at the cemetery were extensively spray painted.

Spray paint also was found on the exterior of the church.

Earlier this year, Saint Benedict Church on Radcliffe Drive in Clayton Park and Saint Agnes Parish on Mumford Road were both vandalized with spray paint during the early morning hours of Easter Sunday.
