More than 50 headstones at St. Michael’s Ukrainian Cemetery were found damaged — most being knocked over — around 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 23, Baltimore County police reported.

Gov. Larry Hogan visited the church on Monday, Feb. 28 in solidarity. Photos show a tearful governor delivering a speech.

St. Michael's Church officials said its cemetery was vandalized four years ago, WBAL reports. Now, the church is trying to raise enough money to repair the headstones and is also informing families about the incident.

While authorities continue to investigate this case, the City is asking for the public’s assistance. Anyone with information is asked to contact the precinct at 410-307-2020 or submit a tip online at www.metrocrimestoppers.org.
