Video released by police showed a man wearing a T-shirt and jeans entering the property of the L.A. Christian Church on Lowell Avenue on March 20 and walking around the grounds for more than an hour.

Police said he also broke into the Central Christian Church next door, where he burglarized the church office. The burglar was described as a heavy-set man, between 30 and 40 years old, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 250 to 275 pounds with a bald head.
