Thieves Steal Church Heating/AC Units
KENTUCKY....
Laurel County Sheriff's deputies arrested 25 year old Jordan Woods Tuesday afternoon after they say he stole heating and air conditioning units at two churches.
Sheriff's Deputy Gilbert Acciardo says the churches, the New Harvest Church and Soul's Harbor Church, weren't far apart, near London.
The deputy says the motive for the weekend thefts was to strip the copper from the units and sell it for scrap. Officers were able to recover some of the stolen copper from the units at area junk yards.
New Harvest Pastor Bill Stewart says theft from churches hurts every member of them.
