The Saipan Community Church was broken into last Monday and police is continuing its search for the suspect or suspects. <\/p>\n
According to Department of Public Safety spokesperson Dre Pangelinan, Saipan Community Church was broken into and the incident was reported at around 8:45pm on Monday. <\/p>\n
Pangelinan said the search continues, with the little amount of information they have on the suspect who was described as 5\u20196\u201d, a little muscular, in dark clothing, and had slightly long hair.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan noted that DPS got the description from the witness, a teacher who lives in the Saipan Community School\u2019s premises, who reported the incident. The witness said the suspect was seen for just a glimpse as he fled the scene. <\/p>\n
When asked if anything was reported missing, Pangelinan said there was no report of anything missing at the church or school. <\/p>\n
According to the police report, the witness told police they uncovered the break-in after hearing the sound of glass shattering in the distance. <\/p>\n
As the witness looked toward the direction of the noise, they noticed the suspect, as described above, running from the scene. That\u2019s when the witness immediately contacted authorities.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said the Oleai Beach Bar and Grill was also burglarized last Aug 18. As of press time, Pangelinan could not give additional details on the incident. <\/p>\n
Police has no suspect or suspects yet on Oleai Beach Bar and Grill incident, but continues to investigate the break-in.
\nBoth cases remain ongoing, Pangelinan said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
