Sheriff hunting for burglar who hit Lombard-area church

DuPage County sheriff's deputies are hunting for a man who broke into a Lombard-area church earlier this month and stole a computer system and cash donations.

Authorities said the man forced his way into the Divine Mercy Polish Mission Church at 21W410 Sunset Ave. around 2:30 a.m. April 13 near the intersection of North Avenue and Swift Road. Video surveillance footage shows him making several attempts to gain entry to a locked area before putting his face up to the security camera and then removing the device.

A previous burglary attempt April 8 at the same church was unsuccessful.

The suspect is described as a white man in his early 30s wearing a black skull cap and hooded sweatshirt with black pants and black gloves.

Anyone with information regarding the man's identity is asked to call Detective Dave Chiesa at (630) 407-2364.
