Someone pried open doors and kicked out screens of a southeast Atlanta church before taking off Saturday with a projector, hard drives, computers and laptops, police said.
According to Channel 2 Action News, the person broke into the Pulse Church in the 600 block of Grant Street and stole items worth $8,000.
“All doors in the rear had the front vent panel kicked in,” according to a police report obtained The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The church houses the Urban Recipe, a nonprofit that owns the stolen items. The nonprofit has been helping families in need for 25 years and feeds between 150 and 200 families a week, Urban Recipe founder Chad Hale said.
The back door must have been left open or unlocked, he told police.
The was an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting Saturday night and the last person is believed to have left about 9:30 p.m., according to the police report.
