Two St George’s churches were targeted by burglars over the weekend, according to police.

A police spokesman said that at about 9.20am on Saturday, officers received a report of a burglary at St Peter’s Church.

Less than two hours later, at about 11am, officers received a report of a burglary at Wellington Baptist Church.

While a quantity of cash was taken from St Peter’s Church, the suspects appear to have left Wellington Baptist Church empty-handed after damaging a suggestion box. The spokesman added that while police inquiries are still ongoing, the possibility that the two incidents may be linked has not yet been ruled out.

Anyone with information, or who may have seen suspicious activity around either church between 3pm Friday and 9am Saturday, should contact the Southside Police Station on 293-2222.
