Thieves target Walker County churches for air conditioning units
Monday, April 30, 2012
Temperatures are rising this week but two North Georgia churches may have to wait before they can turn on their air. That's because thieves have stolen their air conditioning units.
"There's nothing more disturbing than someone who either damages or steals from a place of worship," says Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson.
Wilson believes the thieves used the nighttime darkness to help burglarize the Ridgecrest Baptist Church and the Chattanooga Valley Church of God. The criminals got away with $12,000 worth of equipment.
