Burglary attempted at downtown Evanston church

Someone attempted to break into the Lake Street Church of Evanston on Saturday night. 

A 12-by-12-inch piece of stained glass window was broken at the church, 607 Lake St. An unknown blunt object broke the glass, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. 

Police found blood on the floor inside of the church, which could indicate the individual received a cut on their body for breaking the glass.

A church administrator reported the incident Monday morning.
