DOWAGIAC (WKZO)– You have to have to be a special kind of person to break into a church to rob it. A 30-year-old from Dowagiac was caught in the act Tuesday morning at the Holy Maternity of Mary Church when a church employee found a door had been forced open and called police.
He was literally trying to crack the safe by forcing his way into it, damaging the safe, but not getting it open.
There was also some other property damage.
The suspect is sitting in the Cass County Jail pending formal charges. He is being held for breaking an entering and destruction of property for starters.
