INGLEWOOD, TN — Two men on skateboards are suspected of breaking in to an Inglewood church early Thursday and they may be involved in other area burglaries, according to Nashville police.

Just after midnight, police stopped the skaters because they allegedly matched the description of a pair of men spotted acting suspiciously and looking into cars at a nearby garage. As officers were talking to the two, they received a report of a burglary alarm at nearby Inglewood Nazarene Church.
