A tabernacle worth $2 million was stolen from a Catholic church in Brooklyn, New York City police said Monday, in what church officials described as a “brazen crime of disrespect and hate.”
The heist at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood was discovered on Saturday by Father Frank Tumino, a pastor there, who said in the statement that the tabernacle was the “central focus of our church outside of worship.”
Church officials said the burglary happened Friday, while police gave a wider window, saying it occurred between 6:30 p.m. Thursday and 4 p.m. Saturday. There were no witnesses, and surveillance footage was not available, New York City police said in an email. Tumino said that while the church has security cameras in its interior and exterior, parts of the surveillance system were also taken during the burglary.
