HOWE, Ind. (AP) - Vandals who broke into a northern Indiana church caused about $50,000 in damage to stained glass windows, furniture and equipment.
The LaGrange County Sheriff's Department says the burglary and vandalism of the Pretty Prairie United Methodist Church happened Friday night or early Saturday.
The department is seeking tips from the public on the attack on the church in the town of Howe, about 40 miles east of South Bend.
The Elkhart Truth reports (http://bit.ly/2tJrnlW ) that the vandal or vandals used a blunt instrument to force their way into the church before vandalizing the interior.
