GREENVILLE, N.C. - Police increased their patrols of churches across the city Sunday after fires broke out at two Baptist churches during the night and a break-in was discovered at a third — all within an hour.
"We're going to be highly visible at our churches," Greenville Police Chief William Anderson said Sunday.
The speed of the first fire at The Memorial Baptist Church led investigators to treat both fires Saturday night as crime scenes, fire chief Mike Burton said.
"Most of the accidental causes would not have that rapid of a buildup," Burton said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, and authorities said they found no signs of fires at any other church in Greenville, which is about 75 miles east of Raleigh.

Didn't this happen to a bunch of churches this time last year? I know some of the jackson crowd tried to blame it on whites until they found out 50 percent of the churches that were burned had white congregations.
