Northern Ireland’s First Minister Arlene Foster described the incident as “senseless hate crime”.
Inspector Jonathan Francey appealed to anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity around the church to contact police at Castlereagh on the non-emergency number 101.
Alternatively, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.
