I'm thankful that the building is still standing and most of our artwork is still there. It's kind of a sickening feeling though to feel that somebody would do that to a church. It's the second time it has been burglarized. The thieves stole cash and computers. In the past month, there have been at least 10 break-ins at churches in Rockwall, Rowlett, Wylie and Sachse.
Police think the burglars consider churches easy pickings.
Sachse Police Chief Richard Benedict said the crimes are all very similar, and he believes the same perpetrators are responsible. Police think they strike after collections are taken up during Sunday and Wednesday services. Area police are now on alert and doing extra patrols. WFAA-TV Co. All Rights Reserved.
