Fed-up church members stand guard, beat robbery suspect
excerpt:


For two months, they spent their nights as volunteer security guards in their burglary-plagued house of God.

The vigilance paid off early Friday when a suspected burglar broke through a window and encountered a half-dozen church members wielding baseball bats and broom handles.

When police arrived, at about 1 a.m., they found the man battered and bound with rope on the roof outside a second-story window.

Evangelical church whose members are poor immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala. No charges are being laid against the church members.
