Vulgar, Satanic Graffiti Sprayed At Cobb Churches

MARIETTA, GA — Cobb County County Police are searching for a man they say sprayed vulgar and Satanic graffiti at multiple places of worship starting in April.

The man, who police believe was working alone, is believed to have vandalized multiple locations with red spray paint between April 29 and May 8. A news release from Cobb County Police did not identify which places of worship were targeted.

The release said that in addition to "vulgar and Satanic phrases," the man painted "what can best be described as sacrilegious symbols to include crosses with circles around them and lines striking through them."

One of the houses of worship had exterior security cameras and captured images of the man spray painting the building, according to police.

The man is described as a white male, from 35-50 years old. He is partially balding with brown hair, weighs somewhere between 230-280 pounds and is between 5'10"-6'2" tall. He appeared to be driving a light-colored, 2008-2011 Hyundai Elantra.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to call Cobb County Police's criminal investigation unit at 770-590-5769.
