GLASGOW — Local police are seeking community assistance with solving a string of four burglaries during an October weekend in Glasgow that struck area churches.

Burglars entered through the doorways of three churches and a business on the weekend of Oct. 23 to Oct. 26 and made away with items with a combined estimated value of nearly $1,000, including a computer from one of the properties, according to Glasgow Police Captain Jimmy Pedigo.

Investigators estimate that the individuals entered Glasgow Baptist Church, 401 S. Green St., sometime between Oct. 23 and Oct. 24, Glasgow Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 103 Cumberland St., sometime between Oct. 23 and 25, First Presbyterian Church, 200 E. Washington St., sometime between Oct. 24 and 26 and Los Tres Hombres store, 409 Samson St., sometime in the morning of Oct. 26.

That value does not include the damage done to the properties, so the estimated value will likely increase once the property owners complete their assessments, he said.

“Sometimes it can take a while for them to go through everything and get us a complete estimate,” he said.

Pedigo said it has been a while since Glasgow has seen such a concentrated string of burglaries, and they appear to be related.

“It has been a while, and I can’t remember the last time there were so many that all happened during just a few days like this,” he said.

This is the first Barren County case that the South Central Kentucky Crime Stoppers has helped publicize since the Barren Fiscal Court voted on Oct. 6 to officially join the network of area law enforcement agencies.

Those with information about this or any other crime can call the South Central Kentucky Crime Stoppers at 781-CLUE, toll free 866-842-CLUE or visit the Web site at www.781CLUE.org. Calls to the tip line are not recorded and are completely anonymous.

The operators do not have access to caller ID and those callers offering information that leads to an arrest are offered a cash reward. Information that leads to a conviction is eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
