Over 20 Latter-day Saint buildings were burglarized across the Salt Lake Valley this week, and authorities suspect the break-ins could be connected.
Herriman police Sgt. Josh Jennings said that the area experienced 22 break-ins since Wednesday — but did not have specific timeline on when each church building was burglarized. Some of the buildings were damaged by the break-ins, police said, but the only item of value stolen was a television.
“It’s obviously a pretty good rash of them,” Jennings said. “But at this time, we really don’t have much as far as tips or, or insights on who it might be just yet.” Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who frequent the church buildings reported the burglaries, so Jennings said it’s hard to determine when exactly each break-in occurred — since authorities just have to rely on who was last in the building, and when members noticed something was awry.
Police responded to break-ins at the following LDS Church building addresses, Jennings said in a Saturday email:13768 S. 6400 West
