Police investigating latest church break-in in Hickory

HICKORY, N.C. — Police are trying to determine whether a church break-in in Hickory is linked to a half dozen other cases in the area.

Police said someone stole the Sunday offerings from the Temple Baptist Church in southeast Hickory Wednesday morning.

A church member found a broken window and the church's office ransacked, according to officers.

Last fall, police investigated several similar church break-ins but never made an arrest in the cases.
