The suspect spray-painted the parking lot with anti-Mormon sentiments, as well as phallic images and obscene language, the sheriff’s office said. A vehicle that was parked at a house across the street was also spray-painted.

“Defacing sacred spaces is a heinous act. This is a place that’s deeply meaningful for people in our community, and violating the sanctity of any spiritual home is unacceptable,” said Larimer County Sheriff John Feyen in a statement. “We will not tolerate this kind of hate in Larimer County. Our investigations team is working diligently to find out who did this.”
