The Peoria County Sheriff's Office is seeking two suspects who vandalized the Peoria Chinese Christian Church early Tuesday morning.

Sheriff Chris Watkins says the two entered the church around 3 a.m. Video footage captured by a security camera shows a suspect spraying a fire extinguisher in the church's main sanctuary, 10039 N. Garden Lane.
