DASSEL, Minn. – Thieves backed a truck onto the old Swan Lake Lutheran Church cemetery and loaded a 1,000-pound bell into the bed and drove off. It was heavy lift. Undoubtedly the rime required more than one thief if not a crew, Meeker County deputies said. The strongest the ding clue so far: Tire tracks.
Missing bell. Had been housed for display in a small chapel.
