HENDERSON — The crime rate is up in Rusk County, but KETK reports this time it’s not thieves stealing from local businesses. There have been three church burglaries reported in the county since last October. The latest happened at a church right outside Henderson just after the New Year. Holy Prayer Church, Concord Methodist Church, and now New Life Church were the locations victimized. It’s not clear if the three incidents are linked, but TVs seem to be at the top of the list of items stolen. More than $1,000 in electronics was stolen in the latest burglary.
