LINCOLNTON, N.C. (AP) - Detectives with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office are looking into a series of church break-ins during the last week.

A statement from the sheriff’s office said the latest incident occurred Wednesday when deputies responded to a break-in at Trinity Second Chance Church. When church members arrived for Bible study, they found the main door had been broken, and a bass guitar and case missing.

Break-ins were also reported on Dec. 2, 3 and 5. Items stolen in the break-ins include televisions, money for a building fund, an amplifier and speakers.



Detectives believe the break-ins are connected because all of them occurred in the same area south of Lincolnton.
