The Marion City Police Department has said that three churches – St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and Emmanuel Lutheran – were broken into over Monday evening.

Vandals ransacked the kitchens and let off fire extinguishers while rummaging through the buildings.

This marks the second time St. Paul’s Lutheran has been hit in the last week.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Marion City Police Department at 387-2525.
