Dawson County sheriff’s Maj. Ray Goodie said 12 churches have been targets of burglaries in his county since February.
Goodie tells The Times that one of them has been hit multiple times.
He estimates the thefts have totaled more than $40,000.

Both counties are offering $1,000 rewards for information in the cases.
