Police and federal agents will continue their weekend explosive sweeps of more than 100 churches in Las Cruces.
Officers will provide extra security this weekend as they have each week since the Aug. 2 explosions at churches. Agents and officers from the FBI, Homeland Security, State Police, local police, New Mexico State University Police and Dona County Sheriff's Office are present in Las Cruces.
No arrests have yet been made in those blasts or for the undetonated explosive device found at a Presbyterian church two weeks later.
Authorities believe the three cases may be connected.
The reward for tips leading to an arrest now totals more than $37,000, with money offered by Las Cruces Crime Stoppers, Deming Crime Stoppers and the FBI.
