St. Peter's Catholic Church was stripped of its copper rods and wiring.
A thief recently visited a local church, stealing an undisclosed amount of copper. Chillicothe police were called to St. Peter's Church on Saturday where a maintenance employee said he noticed all the cooper ground rod antennas and connecting copper wiring were missing. The officer found muddy scuff marks on the outer door of the sanctuary, and said it appeared that someone climbed the nearby railing to get to the rooftop and gain access to the copper.
