Two teenagers face felony charges for vandalizing a church not once but twice.
Newly-purchased picnic tables were trashed at Christ Presbyterian Church in Newnan. Pastor Jayme Sickert tells Channel 2 Action News he bought the tables for children to use.
"The picnic tables are two weeks old," said Sickert. "They punched a hole in it here, and then they took a knife and they engraved, 'worship Satan 666.'"
Coweta County sheriff's deputies arrested a 15- and a 16-year-old for damaging the Mills Chapel Baptist Church next door to Christ Presbyterian.
"The same individuals, we learned through their interviews, had done some bad things to the church before and vandalized it again," said Major James Yarbrough.
Major Yarbrough says they used a rock to break the glass on the front door and spray-painted profanity, smoke crack, and worship Satan 666.
The suspects were identified through surveillance video from the church.
