The unknown culprit behind a string of burglaries in one Kentucky town has been dubbed the "bologna bandit," based on his predilection for the lunch meat.

UPDATE: A spokesman for the Christian County Sheriff's Department says a suspect in the burglary has been arrested. 50-year-old Joseph "Scotty" Parrott of Crofton was arrested this morning for breaking parole and fleeing and resisting arrest. He is a suspect in multiple burglary cases, including the "bologna bandit," cases. 

12-22: A Christian County Sheriff's Office spokesman told WTFV-TV in Tennessee that deputies have stepped up patrols in Crofton, Kentucky, following an increase in burglaries targeting churches and homes within the last month.

Lt. Scott Noisworthy said the common factors in the burglaries are the items stolen: food and change. Authorities haven't named a suspect, but have identified a person of interest.

The pastor at Lighthouse of Crofton Assembly of God Church, George Linton, said his church was broke into twice in five days.

The items stolen: bread, a block of cheese and four packs of bologna.
