Marblehead Break Ins: Church, Home Entered On Sunday

MARBLEHEAD, MA – St. Andrews Church on Lafayette Street appears to have been broken into around 3:45 a.m. on Sunday, along with a private residence near the church.

Police were called to St. Andrews around 3:45 a.m. when the burglar alarm went off. Officers found a cut screen and open window on the property, and discovered that an office had been entered. A church representative and police determined that nothing had been taken.

Officers theorize that the burglar alarm scared the suspect off, according to a Facebook post.

Police went back to the area later in the day, but this time on a report of a private residence that had been broken into. A window to the attached garage was broken and removed, and the suspect seems to have taken things from a car inside the garage.

According to the Facebook post, police suspect the incident happened around the same time as the church break in.

Police encourage people that may have been in the area to call the station with tips at 781-631-1212.
