Someone broke into The True Word Church Ministries at 1206 S. George St. between Sunday and Tuesday evening, according to a Goldsboro Police Department report.

The report said the church was locked and secured around 5 p.m. Sunday evening, and when a man identified in the report as Warren Anthony Butler returned to the church Tuesday around 6:45 p.m., he discovered someone had broken into the church.

Butler told police someone had broken the glass out of the north side window to the church, went inside and taken a plastic jug full of loose change and small bills from the top of the organ, the report said.

The report said the unknown person fled the church on foot through the eastward-facing back door.

Anyone with information about this crime, or any other crime in Wayne County is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 919-735-2255 or text at 919-222-4230.
