A Belleville man faces charges after a church was broken into and vandalized.
City police were called just before 3 a.m. Thursday to a place of worship on Church Street after an alarm went off.
Officers did not find anyone on scene but noticed an insecure door.
A short time later a man returned to the church, broke a window and tried to steal a statue.
Police quickly returned and arrested a 40-year-old unidentified man.
He was held for a bail hearing.
