Police are investigating a break-in and larceny at the Mount Merchardec Spiritual Baptist Church at Vance River Main Road in La Brea.

74-year-old Cecelia Etienne, of Vance River Main Road, La Brea, told police she secured the church around 4 pm on May 24th. However, when she returned around 1 pm on Sunday May 30th, she discovered that several items were missing—a DVD player, an amplifier, an equalizer, a gas tank, and a bag of curtains. 

The police processed the scene, but no workable prints were found.  Investigators believe the perpetrators may have entered the church through the back door.
