Thieves target Strathroy churches

Strathroy-Caradoc police are investigating break-ins earlier this week at two local churches.

The first incident happened at the First Baptist Church on Centre Street in Strathroy overnight Sunday. Suspects pried open one of the church's doors. Once inside, they helped themselves to some groceries, a Canon video camera, a small empty safe, and some change.

Thieves then hit the Westmount Christian Reformed Church on Drury Lane between 9 p.m. Tuesday and 9 a.m. Wednesday. According to police, the suspects broke in through a basement window and stole a "distinctive" pocket watch and food.

Police are asking anyone with information about these break-ins to call them at 519-245-1250 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
