Union County South Carolina police have reported that the United Methodist Church in Buffalo, SC was vandalized with Nazi graffiti.

Sheriff David Taylor told WBTW that swastikas, graffiti and satanic symbols were spray painted inside and outside the church. The vandals also went through the church and ripped apart all Bibles within the building.

State police forensic investigators have been working the scene.

“It’s hard to look at but it’s the world we live in, a world that could use some more work from its churches,” pastor Rob Towery said. Another church volunteered their facility so that Buffalo UMC could continue their Bible school.

The Sheriff said there could be a connection to a double murder last week that was attributed to local hate groups.
