Thieves targeted a Lexington church stealing audio equipment and even gas. It happened at the True Life Assembly of God on Kingston Road.
Pastor Anthony Martin says a keyboard and speakers used for youth ministries were stolen and then he says the thieves cut a line on their van and siphoned out gasoline. He just hopes whoever did this has a change of heart. “It’s bad enough when somebody invades your home, but to invade a place of worship that’s consecrated to God for worship and to not respect the property and the building, it’s frustrating, but it has not detoured us,” said Martin.

Luckily nothing was broken. He says the thieves somehow pried their way in without damaging anything. If you have any information, call police.

Lubbock police are investigating a teenage runaway girl’s report that she was abducted, sexually assaulted and held captive in a house for the past six weeks.
Police Capt. Jon Caspell said the girl told officers she was abducted from Amarillo about two months ago, and on Friday crawled out a window of the Lubbock house where she’d been kept and fled to a McDonald’s restaurant, where she called police.

“We believe her to be credible in her claims and we believe her to be the victim of multiple sexual assaults as well as kidnapping,” Caspell said after a SWAT team served a search warrant Saturday at the home.
Three men surrendered without incident and were detained for questioning. Their names haven’t been released since they haven’t been arrested, though at least one of them had an outstanding warrant, Caspell said.
Authorities believed one of the three detained men brought the girl from Amarillo, about 120 miles to the north. Police said the girl either voluntarily accompanied the man or was abducted.
“Somehow she ended up at this house with the adult male and was held here against her will and was repeatedly sexually assaulted while being kidnapped here,” Caspell said. “We will be pursuing charges to the fullest extent, which we anticipate being aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault charges, maybe others as well.”
The girl, whose age was not disclosed, also told officers a second girl previously had been held captive at the house, which had cameras mounted on the outside.
“During the investigation we were able to gather some information that there may be more victims and may be more suspects inside the house and they might be armed,” Caspell said, explaining why a SWAT team was deployed.
Officers were trying to find the second girl, he said.
Authorities are investigating a fire set to a vehicle parked outside the Saginaw home of the 6-year-old whose body was found under a tarp earlier this month.
Officer Damon Ing with Saginaw police said officials responded to what they believe is a fire set intentionally shortly after 2:15 a.m. Friday morning. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is assisting Saginaw police and the Saginaw Fire Department with the arson investigation.

The home of 6-year-old Alanna Gallagher’s family was not damaged in the fire, Ing said. Also, a second fire outside the home that damaged a memorial for the girl was reportedly sparked by a candle, not arson.
Alanna’s body was found under a tarp on the side of a Saginaw street July 1 by two teenagers. Investigators, with the help of the FBI, have been collecting evidence and analyzing DNA and other materials from the Gallagher home and the neighborhood. There is a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the killer’s arrest and conviction.
Anyone with information about the case can call 682-888-3682 and 682-888-3684.
