Report: Vandals hit Lindale UMC again

Vandals hit the church for the third time in less than four weeks sometime between the end of church service Sunday evening and 11 a.m. Tuesday, when a contractor discovered the damage.

The basement door was forced open and both the church office and pastor’s office were damaged.

It was unclear if anything was stolen this time, but thieves got away with two flat screen televisions the first time.

In all three break-ins, there was damage to the offices and doors.
