A career criminal already doing two to four years for breaking into a Brooklyn church was convicted yesterday of burglarizing two more houses of worship.
Latif Rahim, 51, now faces up to 14 more years for the June 2007 break-in at the Jewish Center Nachlath Zion in Sheepshead Bay and the July 2007 burglary of the Park Slope United Methodist Church.
Prosecutors used Rahim’s DNA to match him to blood found at the synagogue and an apple-juice bottle he apparently sipped from while ransacking the church.
Both houses of worship suffered damage.
Rahim was separately charged with the July 2007 burglary of the Church of Gethsemane in Park Slope. He was out on bail awaiting sentencing for raping his son’s girlfriend at the time.
