In the midst of the Trump administration’s effort to rein in crime in Washington, D.C., a vandal targeted a local church, hurling rocks through its stained-glass windows in broad daylight.

The Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News Digital that just before 6:30 p.m. on Monday, officers responded to Mt. Olive Baptist Church on 6th Street Northeast and found rocks had been thrown through the church’s windows.

A nearby vehicle also had damage to the front window, back window, and both mirrors.

By the time officers arrived, the suspect was gone, MPD said.

In addition to the citywide 11 p.m. curfew for minors under the age of 17, MPD announced on Wednesday it was establishing a “juvenile curfew zone” in the U Street corridor, which is about three miles northwest of Capitol Hill.

Within the juvenile curfew zone, children under the age of 17 are prohibited from gathering in a group of nine or more in any public place or on the premises of any establishment unless engaged in certain exempted activities, according to police.

The curfew zone will be in effect from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. through the weekend.

“The Juvenile Curfew Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 gives the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department the authority to order a Juvenile Curfew Zone in an area where large groups of youths are gathering or intend to gather in a manner that poses a risk of substantial harm to public safety,” MPD wrote in a statement.

Mt. Olive Baptist Church did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
