THOMPSONVILLE- Twice over the last few days, the clothing room of the Thompsonville First Baptist Church has been vandalized, broken into, and thefts have occurred.
The clothing room is located just west of the village limits on State Hwy. 149. The church has a baseball/softball field there, as well as a pavilion. There have been several instances of vandalism over the last several months on the property.
Yesterday, the forced entry happened during broad day light. Here is the vehicle in suspicion, from the surveillance cameras yesterday.
On December 30th security video caught the suspects on camera. Click on the link for the video.

If you have any information on this case, please call the Franklin County Sheriff’s office at 438-8211.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This is a ministry that is trying to express Christ’s love to people by giving them FREE clothing and items. It perplexes me why someone would want to steal them. I just have a tough time understanding the mindset of individuals who would take items when all they have to do is ask. According to ministry coordinator, Natalie Dixon, “They leave a lot of work afterwards from the mess they leave behind.”
