A Jackson woman and her two sons were in custody on Wednesday suspected of being responsible for a dozen church burglaries in rural Hinds County.

Betty Ann Hill, 33, Tony Terrell Ford, 17, and a juvenile were traced to their home at 5228 Queen Eleanor Lane in Jackson after a serial number on one of the stolen items turned up in a national pawnshop database, said Hinds County Sheriff Malcolm McMillin.

McMillin did not identify the ju
venile but said he was a son of Hill.

When deputies arrived at the house, they found Hill and several computers and televisions. She initially was placed under arrest on suspicion of receiving stolen property, McMillin said. After questioning Hill, her two sons also were arrested.

All three have been charged with burglary of a business.

Jackson police Detective Al LaDoux from the department's pawnshop unit assisted the Sheriff's Department. Ladoux said he received the incident reports from the Sheriff's Department Tuesday morning and ran them through the database.

"Every transaction a pawnshop takes in daily is reported to us," LaDoux said. "One of the churches had several serial numbers recorded."

Among the pawnshops that the stolen items were recovered from were Charlie's Pawn Shop in Clinton and EZ Pawn in Jackson and Pearl, McMillin said. Deputies are still going to area pawnshops to recover items.

McMillin said the serial numbers allowed investigators to crack the case.


"If we had the same information minus the serial numbers, we would still be looking (for the items)," McMillin said. "Put serial numbers on your items. Let's learn from this."

The stolen items included more than $10,000 worth of equipment, including televisions, computers, a video game system, guitar, keyboards, amplifiers and a refrigerator.

McMillin said the churches are "relatively easy targets." Niggaz and dey crimes o' opportunity!

"The churches we are talking about are rural, isolated, and most times nobody's there during the week," McMillin said.

Representatives from about half of the churches that were burglarized were in the Sheriff's Department Wednesday for a news conference announcing the arrests and to pick up stolen items that had been recovered.

McMillin showed them photos of the suspects and asked whether the pictures or names seemed familiar. No one said they did.

William Cooper is
the senior pastor at First Church of Deliverance in Bolton. The church was broken into on July 20 and July 22. Cooper retrieved the $1,800 computer system that was stolen from the church.

He believes the thieves came through a window and knew what they were after.

He said he was going to look closer at the pictures of the suspects and show them to some of his parishioners. He said it's possible that they may have visited the church at one time.

Cooper's church recently installed bars over the windows.

"Scriptures tells us not to put treasure in earth," Cooper said. "We hate the loss, but we keep moving on."

Robert Turner Sr. is a deacon at New Hope Baptist Church in Raymond.

He said about $1,500 worth of items - two speakers, an amplifier, two vacuum cleaners, a microwave and a case of bottled water - were taken from his church on Aug. 1.

He was able to recover one of the speakers Wednesday that he said he believes the burglars took through a window.

"A chur
ch should never have to be locked," Turner said.

Niggaz, what is I gonna do wif my niggaz!
