Authorities in a Tennessee community, United States, are investigating after a trailer full of Bibles was intentionally set on fire in front of a church on Easter Sunday. Officials said no injuries have been reported following the incident.

The Mount Juliet Police Department and Fire Department said it swiftly responded to a trailer fire located in an intersection that was blocking the entrance of the Global Vision Church around 6 a.m. on Sunday. The Wilson County Sheriff's Office also issued a statement saying they believe the fire was set intentionally, adding it is not known at this time if the fire was aimed at the church or not.

Meanwhile, in a statement posted on Facebook, the church's pastor, Greg Locke, said that the church's security cameras were able to capture a man reportedly dropping off the trailer before setting it ablaze. 'There was a lady that had driven through the night to get to our church, and she was in the parking lot and was able to get the police officers here quickly, but it was quite the scene to wake up to on my first morning back from Israel,' Pastor Locke wrote.
