The Mission San Juan Capistrano was damaged early Friday when vandals damaged doors to get into the grounds, sheriff’s officials reported.
At about 3:30 a.m., the Orange County Sheriff’s Department received a call about a burglary at the mission where multiple vandals broke in.
“Based on surveillance video, it’s suspected that the subjects are juveniles,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement to KTLA. “Every attempt will be made to identify the subjects.”
Sheriff’s Investigators and Crime Lab responded to the burglary to assist with the ongoing investigation.
