TRENTON, Mich. -- A biracial couple that moved to a Trenton neighborhood two weeks ago received a harsh welcome this weekend, Local 4 reported.

The man who lives at the home with his wife and 1-year-old daughter told the station that the family woke to find a cross burning outside their daughter's window two days in a row.

"I thought it was a dream," he said. "I just actually couldn't believe that people would do something like that."

Police caught two men leaving the area in a U-Haul van. A floor mat in the van appeared to have a stain or wet mark in the outline of a cross. It was soaked with what police suspect is a flammable liquid, the station reported.

A can of lighter fluid was also found near the home, but the men in the U-Haul deny being involved in the incident.

Neighbors said the cross-burning was not a reflection of the community.

"It's idiotic to me. It's stupidity," said Randy Tracy, a Trenton resident.

Police are awaiting the return of evidence submitted to the crime lab to determine if charges can be filed in the case.

The burning cross has historically been a symbol associated with hatred or racial intimidation, the station reported.
