ST. STEPHEN – Vandals left their mark at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Milltown this week.
On Tuesday and Wednesday night, vandals spraypainted satanic symbols on the side of the church, on the walkway, front door and sign.
“We’re washing some of it off. We’re doing the best that we can,” said Rev. William Morton.
“It’s going to cost us. We all know about insurance deductibles and things like that.”
Morton said this act was probably done by one or two people, but it will place a stigma on all young people in town. He said he doesn’t want to see St. Stephen youths condemned as a whole because of the actions of a few.
Also vandalized were signs and Canada Post boxes along Queensway, as well as a sign on Milltown Boulevard.
“They spray painted a church, but then you get down Queensway, and they’ve done it on signs and mail boxes. What have they got against Canada Post?” Morton said.
The matter is under investigation by St. Stephen RCMP and anyone who has any information about the vandalism is asked to call 466-7030.
