Staff at the South Bay Pentecostal Church at 395 D Street reported the vandalism Sunday morning, according to Chula Vista Police.
Officers found several spray-painted messages on the wall, including the word “Lucifer,” an apparent pentagram and other scrawlings, police said.
Surveillance footage captured by cameras at the church showed a vehicle pull up to the location around 12:30 a.m. Sunday and two individuals get out before going to the back of the church, where the graffiti was found, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Police suspect two people were responsible for the incident, but no suspect descriptions were immediately available.
