Vandals have defaced about 100 graves in Denmark, spray painting some of the memorials with the number 666.聽
Staff from the Hadsund Church in the eastern part of the Jutland peninsula noticed the graffiti, which featured the number commonly associated with the devil, on Sunday morning.
Police are investigating but a motive remains unclear.
Hadsund Church was built between 1897 and 1898 by architect Wieenholt and was restored in the 1960s.
In 2016, a similar incident happened at the nearby Visborg Church, where more than 100 gravestones were vandalised.
Satanic graffiti was also spray painted on a Catholic church in Mission, Canada, earlier this year, with the number 666 written along the building's walls and front doors.
