<\/a><\/p>\nThe crime\u00a0occurred\u00a0Monday at the New Shiloh Christian Church in Melbourne on Sarno Rd. About 1,500 members attend the church.<\/p>\n
Police told WKMG they are hesitant to label the case as a hate crime because they don’t want to alarm the public. They said they will determine if the graffiti was done at the same time as the vandalism and arson to determine if it is, in fact, a hate crime.<\/p>\n
At this time they are calling it arson and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n
No information about the arsonist or arsonists was known, and a police investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
