Several appliances, equipment and other articles were destroyed during the crime. Police state that among the articles destroyed were a pay telephone, an air conditioner, the building's electric meter and a Coke machine which had apparently been flipped over and broken open with all the machine's money being stolen. The ceilings were also damaged in the restrooms of the facility, and the walls were spray painted with graffiti. Officer Thiele states that some items had been stolen from the building and that some of the property has already been recovered. The DeKalb Sheriff's Department was contacted about the case and is assisting in the investigation.
Police say that they have several leads in the case and that the investigation continues.
They also state that this case is not related to the graffiti discovered at the Alexandria Church of God last week, an incident which has already been solved. If you have any information in this case please contact the Alexandria Police Department or the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office.
