A statue at Holy Cross Church in Harrison, New Jersey, was vandalized on December 3, 2024, according to the Harrison Police Department.

The incident came to light when a friend of the church’s priest noticed the statue was missing and informed him. The church, located in Hudson County, later provided surveillance footage to the police for review.

Video evidence shows a man approaching the church and surveying the area before attempting to push the statue over. When the initial effort failed, the man returned and destroyed the statue completely.

Authorities have not yet identified the suspect or established a motive for the act. The investigation is ongoing.

Police have urged anyone with information about the incident to contact them as they continue to work on the case.
