Police were called to the faith-based organization in the 700 block of McKinnon Avenue South on Aug. 4 to investigate an incident that happened three days earlier.

Investigators said a man arrived at the building at around 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 1 carrying a carton of eggs before throwing them at several vehicles and parts of the building.

Security video captured the incident, and police later released an image of the suspect, describing him as having a dark beard and short brown hair.

At the time, he was wearing a black T-shirt with the word “boo” and a white ghost on it, along with a black baseball cap.

Police said the service’s Community Engagement Division and Hate Crimes Unit were involved in the investigation.

Police have not said what they believe motivated the incident.
