An unknown person broke into and vandalized The News & Observer offices and the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Raleigh early Sunday morning. A bloody trail and several computers were thrown through The News & Observer’s third-floor windows. Files were opened in several administrative offices and tossed outside. “The suspect is on video,” said Publisher Orage Quarles III. “Luckily, there weren’t any damage to any humans. That’s the best thing. He left a mess, and we’ll probably increase our security.” Journalists at The News & Observer discovered the overturned desks and broken windows at about 1:30 a.m. Reports of a break-in came from First Presbyterian Church on Salisbury Street around 8 a.m. Detectives are considering the possibility that the two crimes, which happened only one block apart, are related.
