Dunedin Seventh Day Adventist Church treasurer Lew Bylsma said the group had the van parked by the Stafford St church on Saturday night. Stained glass windows at St Matthew’s Church in Dunedin were also smashed. St Matthew’s Anglican Church in Hope St, Dunedin, was also targeted, with two of the church’s more prominent stained-glass windows badly damaged as well as the kitchen window.
