HERRIMAN, Utah — More than 20 church buildings owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were burglarized within the last week and officials are trying to track down who is responsible.

Sgt. Jennings with the Herriman Police Department confirmed the break-ins to FOX 13 News, adding that although the only property taken was a TV, some of the buildings were also damaged.

Detectives are actively working on the case, Jennings said, but don't have any information on a potential suspect to release quite yet.
