NAMPA -- Doors were pried open, cabinets and drawers rummaged through.
Police believe those responsible for the damage were looking for cash.
The LDS church on Birch Lane in Nampa is one of seven churches hit in the past two days.
This particular church was burglarized Monday night.
The suspects broke out one window and entered in that way. It's the same way they got in all the others.
“This is the rock they threw clear across the room, obviously pretty hard, broke out this double pain window, and threw the rock from out there and came clear over here and they had to hurl it pretty hard,” said Pastor Chi Morgan.
At First Congregational United Church of Christ the evidence is everywhere. Broken glass is all throughout the nursery. It was here the burglars entered the building, and then took their crime spree into other rooms.
Offices, meeting rooms, were kicked open. Footprints were left on the door and the door frames busted up.
Police believe their suspects were looking for cash. This church was burlgarized on Sunday and it is believed the suspects were looking for donations or tithings from services that day.
“They were only evidently after cash because they went right past laptops, cameras, all sorts of things, they didn't take things of high value that were just sitting out in the open,” said Morgan. "You are violated, whether it is personally, the church is even worse, we welcome everyone here, but we would like them to come through the front door.
Police have no suspects just some leads tonight.
Police are hoping the public may have seen something unusual around the churches in Nampa, but didn't think much about it.
They're hoping someone, can remember something that will lead them to the thieves.
Here is a list of local churches burglarized in the past two days:
- First Congregational United Church of Christ
- Zion Lutheran Church
- New Hope Baptist Church
- Lutheran Brethren Church
- Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
- Christian Faith Center
- Nampa Church of the Brethren
Six are in Nampa and one in Canyon County.
Some money was found and taken from a few of the churches but police don't believe it amounted to very much.
