Police are investigating three more cases of church vandalism, bringing the total to seven. One of the churches is in Sandy and the other two are in Ogden; all of them had damage to windows or doors.
The Weber County Sheriff's Office says the door to the church at 5855 Skyline Dr. was shattered sometime between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Saturday. A member of the ward had come by the building to check on it and found glass all over the ground.
On Sunday morning, at the Ogden LDS Church on 5191 Old Post Road, ward members showed up for service to a similar scene.
These two churches along with a Sandy church near 11500 South and Wasatch Boulevard, brings the total number of churches vandalized to seven.
Ogden City police Lt. Scott Sangberg says, "It could be anything. I don't think there is anything out of the realm of possibility that cause this window to be broken, anywhere from teenagers to someone who may not like how a particular bishop handled a situation."
Right now, Layton police says a BB gun caused the damage to the churches there.
Ogden and Sandy say they aren't sure what caused the damage. They say it could be a number of things.
All of the agencies involved say their investigators have no leads and no witnesses.
The estimated cost in damages for all the churches is a few thousand dollars. Several people who attend these churches say it's not a big deal to replace a broken window or door, they're just bothered that someone would vandalize their place of worship.

The church in Ogden on Skyline drive was the my ward building growing up. What a small world
