A religious statue was snatched from a Brooklyn church -- and cops are investigating it as a hate crime, police said.
A thief ripped a statue of the sacred heart of Jesus in Williamsburg at the Saints Peter and Paul church on South 3rd Street near Berry Street about 4:10 a.m. Wednesday, according to the rectory and cops.
The Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the heist, poring over surveillance video from the church.
The statue shows Jesus pointing at his heart, the church said. It has been a part of the rectory for twelve years.
