A broken window led to the discovery of a break-in at the Victoria Chinese Pentecostal Church on Dowler Place.
Members of the church came across the window about 10 p.m. Saturday. They saw a strange man leaving the church, but were unaware of the break-in at the time.
Donations that had been locked inside the church office were missing, Victoria police said.
The person seen in the area is described as five foot 10 with a thin build, black curly hair and a light scruffy beard. He was wearing black pants and a black nylon jacket.
Call Victoria police at 250-995-7654 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 with any information.
