Nocturnal thieves stole four radiators from South Boston’s Main Street United Methodist Church last week, according to South Boston Police Capt. B.K. Lovelace.
The thieves struck sometime during the night of August 20, Lovelace said.
Officers were called to the church at 9:13 a.m. Thursday, August 21, after Main Street UMC Pastor Ed Rigg reported the theft of the radiators. The church had been undergoing a renovation project, and the four old radiators had been placed outside the building in a scrap metal bin, Lovelace said.
A neighbor called the police department Wednesday night and reported hearing clanking noises at the church, according to Lovelace. However, when night shift officers responded, they found nothing out of the ordinary, the captain said.
Officer D.G. DeGeorgis is the investigating officer.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the South Boston Police Department at 575-4273 or Crime Stoppers at 575-TIPS.
