Police in Brooklyn are searching for a group of people who vandalized a church.
The group is accused of breaking into a side door of the Saint Columba Roman Catholic Church on Kimball Street.
Once inside, they broke a stained-glass window and metal cross.
Police say due to the nature of the damage, this vandalism has been designated as a "hate crime."
The church called it a "disgraceful act by these persons and an affront to every Parishioner of our Faith Community and the citizenry of our City."
