Dumfries, Va. – As Dumfries looks to elect a new town mayor in a special election, two councilmembers said they want the job.
The latest burglary occurred between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning at the Ramoth Baptist Church in the 400 block of Ramoth Church Road. An employee of the church came to work Wednesday and noticed a laptop computer lying in the entrance way to her office, then saw the church had been burglarized, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
Four flatscreen TVs, several laptop computers, and a camera were taken from the church. Investigators said a window was kicked open which allowed the intruder access.
