Islamic leaders in St. Cloud say their worship centers have repeatedly been targeted by vandals.

Lieutenant Jeff Oxton says damage was reported on five occasions at the 300 block of 4th and 5th Avenue South. Since November 7, 2014, the St. Cloud Police Department has received two complaints of broken windows on the building and three complaints of smashed windows on cars parked outside the worship centers.

Oxton adds the Police Department’s Community Crime Impact Team is now leading an investigation into the numerous acts of vandalism using video surveillance, extra patrols, and plain clothes enforcement.

St. Cloud Police are asking for the public’s help with the investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the SCPD at 320-251-1200 or the Tri-County Crime Stoppers at 320-255-1301.
