The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect of a church burglary.
Sheriff Daniel Edwards says on April 8, 2024, at around 5:30 PM, deputies responded to a burglary alarm at Faith Temple Church on Fontana Road in Independence. Upon arrival, deputies located a door forced open in the rear of the church.
After reviewing security camera footage, an unknown white male was observed breaking into the door with a pry bar. The subject is then seen wandering the church opening doors until the alarm sounded.
As the alarm sounded, the suspect ran out the door and fled in his vehicle, a maroon SUV believed to be a Jeep Compass.
