Algiers church robbed of copper


From Louisiana-

A church in Algiers has been vandalized twice in one week, by someone stealing copper from its air conditioning units.

Fr. Steve Craft says it was just a week ago that someone removed the copper pipes connected to the AC units cooling St. Philip’s Episcopal Church.

“To come and desecrate a church and a school to me is unthinkable,” Craft said.

Then, on Monday morning, the director of the daycare center, located just behind the church, made another discovery.

“When I came out here to look and see what was wrong with the air conditioning, I realized that they had cut the copper out of our lines, both air conditioners,” Donna Graves explained.

Four units in all were destroyed, leaving only a portion of the daycare still cool. In the other rooms, they rely on fans to keep the kids comfortable.
