Man charged in suburban church thefts | Chicago Tribune

A 42-year-old Chicago man is accused of driving a stolen van containing $3,500 in property that had been stolen from several area churches, authorities said today.

Lloyd Martin was arrested Wednesday for allegedly shoplifting from a Jewel Food Store on the city's North Side, police said.

Investigators connected him to the series of church burglaries in northwest suburban Park Ridge, Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village and west suburban Villa Park, police said."

Yikes! He stole a van from a neighbor church! There was a breakin at Holy Innocents a while back, but nothing was taken. I guess we were lucky he didn't break into St Nicholas, too.
