Practice news sory 3: Crime

A church building of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the corner of 1600 E and 900 N was broken into early on Wednesday morning. Sheriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty said that two CPUs were stolen and that two computer monitors were broken. Officials have said that the burglary most likely took place between 11p.m. and 2 a.m. It is believed that at least two individuals were involved and the burglars entered the building through an open window.
There were no witnesses but a neighbor, Evelyn Breathwaite, heard noises during the night. Breathwaite said “I thought it was the garbage truck coming… I looked at the clock and went back to sleep. The building's Physical Maintenance manager, Robert Knotz, was the first to discover the crime. Upon entering the building he spotted the broken monitors and called the police. Knotz confirmed that no other property was damaged or stolen but admits that this is not the first time that a building he manages has been vandalized. Knotz said, “In the last year we had some kids break in through the roof of one of our buildings.” Police have no suspects at this time and are continuing the investigation of this crime.
