Church in western Sedgwick County vandalized

Someone vandalized a church in the 26000 block of West 13th Street, causing an estimated $1,200 in damage, a Sedgwick County sheriff’s official said Wednesday.

At this point, the vandalism at St. Mary’s Catholic Church doesn’t appear to be a hate or bias crime, Lt. Lin Dehning said.

The vandalism occurred between 11 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. Saturday, he said. Items damaged included a religious statue and church pews.
