(AP) -- This morning, musical equipment and an empty safe were reported stolen from the Living Faith Church, on East Route Y in Ashland.

The church’s pastor told Boone county deputies he found an exterior door forced open and a keyboard, miscellaneous musical items and a safe missing.
Numerous other items of value were found stacked outside the church …authorities think the burglars may have been interrupted before they could take more property.

Anyone with information about this burglary is urged to contact the Sheriff’s Department or CrimeStoppers at 875-TIPS. A reward is being offered.
