Police say the suspect is accused of breaking into several churches and businesses. Now, as News Watch's Kallie Koester found out, those places are changing up their security measures by adding more locks, lights, and cameras. The Charleston Police Department says just after midnight Tuesday, they came across an open door at the Culligan Water Conditioning building. Upon investigating the open door, officers found and arrested 29-year-old Tyler Wehr of Charleston. Charleston Detective Tony West says during the investigation, Wehr confessed to burglarizing three churches, four businesses, and one vehicle. Police say money and other items were taken. Charleston Detective Tony West says Wehr previously served prison time for business and vehicle burglaries in 2007. Police are also looking at other burglary cases to see if Wehr is connected. Wehr will go to court January 27th.
