WOODSIDE — Police were seeking the public’s help in finding a man in connection with the burglary of two churches.

Police described the suspect as Hispanic and in his 30s with a medium build. In the first incident, police said he was wearing a red baseball hat, a red waist-length jacket, blue jeans and sneakers.
