Three people were arrested for allegedly breaking into St. Mark Missionary Church in Mishawaka.

Police say 19-year-old Abbie Briggs of Mishawaka has been arrested and charged with burglary. She posted a $3,000 bond to get out of jail. Two 17-year-old males were also arrested and transported to the Juvenile Justice Center on charges of burglary.

Police say the three stole a flat screen computer, a digital camcorder amplifiers, guitars and a safe. Police valued the total stolen material at nearly $5,000.

St. Joseph County Police received information that a stolen guitar was sold to a business on Grape Rd. Detective Sgt. Regis Thimons verified the guitar was stolen from the church and traced the sale back to Briggs.

Briggs was questioned by police and was arrested.

Police say all of the other stolen items were recovered from Briggs’ apartment and were returned to the church.

Police say they found the safe just north of the church in a creek. The safe was not breached and the contents of the safe were still secured.
