In the midst of the Trump administration’s effort to rein in crime in Washington, D.C. , a vandal targeted a local church, hurling rocks through its stained-glass windows in broad daylight.

The Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News Digital that, just before 6:30 p.m. Monday, officers responded to Mt. Olive Baptist Church on 6th Street Northeast and found rocks had been thrown through the church's windows.

A nearby vehicle also had damage to the front window, back window and both side mirrors.

By the time officers arrived, the suspect was gone, MPD said.
