After removing the roof tiles and sawing a big hole in the roof, burglars jumped 20ft into a Hull church. The burglars stole three computers during the raid. The lit candles helped the burglars to ransack the church which was built in 1970.

The burglars damaged the three doors by smashing them with metal bars. David North, the reverend condemned the crime as an act with wicked motives.

Mr. North firmly believes that the computers and two guitars, one of which belonged to his fourteen-year-old son were not the burglar’s target. He stated that the Christmas collection money was the main objective and he was thankful that it was untouched.

The computers contained wedding photographs, Christening information and other events that took place in the church. The burglary took place between 1pm and around 2.10pm on Monday, 5th January 2009.

Mr. North stated that the gap on the roof made the task easy for the burglars. Whilst the computers are easily replaceable, it is the upset that causes most damage said the reverend.

The police are commencing investigations at nearby houses. It is fortunate that the church money remained untouched. It is always better to use security safes and burglar proof safes to avoid any loss in such incidents.
