An accused church-burglar has been charged for a total of 13 breakins that have happened in around Springfield. Police Lieutenant David Millsap says they were able to gather evidence against Joshua Higgins at the scene of the crimes. Higgins is 22. Investigators say, for the most part, Higgins would break a window to get in the church and then steal money. He'd do alot of damage, like kicking in doors, once inside. Praise Assembly Church of God on north Glenstone, Wesley United Methodist on west Republic Road and Truth Community Church on north Bradway were all burglarized twice.
