Rocks thrown through the window of local church
SUMMARY: Mount Olive Baptist Church has been dealing with a string of vandalism, with the most recent being a rock crashing through yet another window. The church pastor, Alphonzo D. Lewis, noted that they have been suffering 5 to 6 break-in attempts over the past two weeks. However, nothing has been stolen, and it appears that it is only a person coming to the property and breaking windows on the side and the other side of the church. The authorities are now investigating the situation at the church.
