The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office has now linked a suspect to the June 13 burglary of Arcola Methodist Church after a similar burglary occurred on June 25-26 at the Church of Latter Day Saints in Leesburg.
Brent Andrew Morgan, 30, whom the police fix to no address, is accused of entering the church in Arcola and removing several pieces of electronic equipment — including laptops and a pair of televisions.
Sheriff’s investigators worked with detectives from the Leesburg Police Department to link the burglaries and received a tip from a citizen on the Leesburg Crime Line.
Morgan was charged on July 1 with burglary and possession of burglarious tools. Additionally, Leesburg Police detectives charged him with grand larceny at a previously unreported theft of a residence he was staying at in Leesburg.
After the connection, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Property Crimes Unit charged Morgan with felony burglary. He is currently held in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on unrelated charges.
