Two local churches were struck by burglars along with a private residence over the weekend as Sullivan Police continue to follow leads on two previous burglaries/vehicle thefts from the previous week.

Sullivan Police Lt.

Officers were able to apprehend a 32-year-old male as a person of interest in the church burglary moments later following the alarm call. The suspect was taken into custody on a 24-hour hold.

Officers were also called to 10 South Olive St. after a home owner arrived to his property at 10:45 a.m. to find someone had broken out a window to the home and kicked in a rear door.
