Practice News Story 3: Crime

Two Monitors Destroyed at LDS Church

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is missing two computer monitors this morning due to a break in. The church is located on 900 North, 1600 East. Maintenance man, Robert (Bob) Knotz, made the call to Logan Police Department around 6:15 a.m. where Sheriff Deputy Geoffery Hasty arrived at the scene. Hasty said it is still early in the investigation, but it is suspected two juveniles entered through an open window and attempted to take the monitors. The monitors were found smashed in a hallway and nothing else was taken.

Evelyn Breathwait has lived directly across from the church parking lot for almost 60 years now. When asked if she had seen anything suspicious, she stated, “I awoke last night around 2 a.m. to what sounded like metal or glass scraping and thought it was the garbage man. When I looked out the window and saw the garbage cans untouched, I just went back to bed and didn’t think much of it.” Breathwait says she still feels this is a safe neighborhood and that this is not a common occurrence.
Bishop Lawrence (Larry) Shirk of the Hillcrest 1st ward, was the last to lock up last night. He said there was no suspicious activity at 11 p.m. when he left. Bishop Shirks office window had been left open where the monitors were taken. The LDS Church plans to press charges.

I think you did a good job. However, there is a difference between a computer monitor and a computer, so you should try and distinguish between them. The computers (cpu's) were missing and the moniters were still there. Other than that detail though it was a good article!
