A burglary baffles police and shakes a neighborhood.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ meetinghouse on the corner of 1600 East and 900 North fell victim to burglary last night at 2:20 a.m. Bob Knotz, physical management manager of the facility, found the west entrance unlocked as he arrived for his morning duties at 6 a.m. Upon entering the building, Knotz found two shattered monitors in a hallway and immediately informed the authorities.
The Logan City Police Department responded quickly to the call. Sherriff Dept. Geoffrey Hasty arrived and confirmed the break in. “We had a similar incident two years ago,” said Hasty. “In the 11 years that I have been here, these incidents are few and far between. Logan is a safe town and I don’t think this is anything to be considered a pattern,” said Hasty. Two CPU’s were stolen from the building; it is believed that juveniles were involved in the vandalism.
Bishop Lawrence Shirk, ecclesiastical leader of a local LDS congregation, expressed his consternation saying, “I was not concerned about the equipment. I was concerned about the confidentiality of my congregation.” Shirk, along with neighbors, was surprised by the burglary. “I’ve lived here my whole life, it’s a safe neighborhood,” said neighbor Evaline Breathwaite.
The LCPD are currently investigating possible suspects.

I have to say Lee , I was impressed with your first article but you continue to up your "A" game!! Well done, interesting as well as written like a true jcomm major!
Dang Lee, you are such a natural! Your article is so good. You are going to be famous someday!
Amazing job! You did very well with organizing your information; it flows very nicely. Good use of quotes! Maybe put the city closer to the beginning...you had the address, but to a reader they may not know it was Logan until later in the story.
