LOGAN Early morning on Jan. 31 a burglary occurred at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel located on 16th East and 900 North. Two CPU’s were stolen and two monitors were broken. There are no suspects at this time, but authorities believe it was most likely two juveniles.
Authorities said that the suspects crawled through an open window in Bishop Shirk’s office. Bishop Shirk said that he must have accidentally left the window open after a long night of interviews. Robert Knotz, physical management manager of the chapel discovered the burglary as he was doing his rounds early Wednesday morning.
Witness Evelyn Breathwaite, who lives across the street from the chapel, said she heard loud noises early that morning around 1:45 a.m. “I thought it was a garbage truck,” said Breathwaite. The computers taken from Shirk’s office did not contain any confidential information or church records. The estimated damage of the vandalism is $700.
