Henry County police are asking for the public's help in identifying two boys who broke into a McDonough church early Thursday and stole musical instruments, computer equipment and junk food.

Security video showed the two boys, who appeared to be teenagers, crawling through a roll-up window at Salem Baptist Church on Ga. 155 around 2 a.m. Thursday.

The boys spent at least two minutes going through drawers and cabinets before taking three acoustic guitars, a laptop computer, money and assorted candy, cookies, chips and sports drinks.

In the video, the boys make no effort to conceal their faces, and even high-five one another in the midst of the break-in. The video can be viewed on the Henry County Police Department's Facebook page.

Police spokesman Major Jason Bolton asked that anyone recognizing the boys call investigators at 770-288-8251.
