Burglars in Grace Church

Burglars broke into Grace church, Jamaica, on Wednesday. They effected an entrance by cutting out the glass in one of the windows, which prevented the ringing of the burglar alarm. The thieves broke the locks of the contribution boxes, which were empty. They packed up the surplices worn by the choir boys but were evidently frightened away.
