Vandals smashed through the front doors at Rockcliff Church of Christ.
More than a week after vandals broke into Rockcliff Church of Christ and inflicted thousands of dollars in damage, lawmen are still trying to figure out what caused someone to defile a house of worship.“It was bad,” said Warren County sheriff’s investigator Travis Thaxton who is heading the investigation into the break-in and vandalism at the small church located near Viola.Members of the church found the damage on the morning of Thursday, Nov. 26. They suspect the assault on the church happened sometime between 8:30 p.m. the night before and just before 10 a.m. the day it was found.“There wasn’t anything but a monitor taken,” revealed Sheriff Jackie Matheny. “It appeared they were there to vandalize the church.”The vandals got in by smashing the glass front door.
