He, however, said that it wasyet to be ascertained what time the incident took place.
"We are still investigating the case. The suspects are yet to be rounded up," he said.
This is the second incident reported in the state after arrest of Francis Pereira two weeks back for allegedly desecrating religious structures, including holy crosses in the state.
On Tuesday, police had found that 12 gravestones were vandalised at Marcaim village in North Goa, 35 kms away from here.
