Convicted church burglar pleads to more charges

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A south St. Louis man already in prison for vandalizing and breaking into churches in St. Louis County pleaded guilty to more charges.

Frank Zdanowski has pleaded guilty to 12 counts of burglary, 10 counts of stealing and one count of arson for allegedly taking small electronic devices, postage stamps and cash from churches in the City of St. Louis in 2005 and 2006.

In one case, Zdanowski was accused of causing more than $500,000 in damage to the offices at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church by setting a fire to cover-up a burglary.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 13th.

Zdanowski is already serving a nine-year prison term for pleading guilty to three church burglaries in south St. Louis County.
