Nova Scotia RCMP say sometime between midnight and 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, two suspects were seen by security camera at a church in the 200 block of Sackville Drive, using spray foam on doors and spray paint on the exterior the church.

Derogatory comments were smeared across the church.

“This is not art. This is a poor excuse for attention,” said Cpl. Dal Hutchinson of Halifax District RCMP, in a statement. “There are more appropriate ways to express yourself. This is not one of them.”
