A person reportedly kicked his way into the Discovery Chapel, 315 W. Main St., Batavia, overnight and left barefooted sometime later.
The break-in was reported at 8:15 a.m.
A door to a storage shed was forced open as well as a door into the church itself.
Found in the seating area of the church was a jacket, shoes and socks. Investigators believe these items were left by the perpetrator.
Police found the impressions of bare feet in the snow outside the church. The footprints indicate the person walked east on the south side of Main Street, and in the area of Main and Court, the person turned toward the roadway and may have gotten into a car.
The suspect appears to have suffered a cut on his right foot.
So far, no items are reported missing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Batavia Police Department at (585) 345-6350 or by calling the confidential tip line at (585) 345-6370.
