Roanoke Rapids police are seeking information on a break-in reported July 1 at Chockoyotte Baptist Church.

Currency was taken and damage was done to church property, including the air-conditioning duct work as well as cosmetic damage.

Investigator Bobby Martin said entry was apparently gained through an unlocked door. “We are reaching out to all our local churches to please make sure that all doors and windows are secure, because unfortunately we do have people out there that will take advantage of any opportunity provided them.”

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Roanoke Rapids Police Department at 252-533-2810 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
