Three thieves were caught on tape barging into a Brooklyn church on Sunday where controversial bishop Lamor Whitehead — an ally to Mayor Adams — was preaching and snatched $400,000 worth of jewelry off of him and his wife.
Whitehead, the Rolls-Royce-driving bishop who recently tried to broker a deal for the surrender of a man accused of a subway murder to the mayor, was preaching at Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry on Remsen Ave. near Avenue D in Canarsie about 11:15 a.m. Sunday when three masked bandits stormed into the church, the pastor and cops confirmed.
When the armed marauders appeared, the stunned Whitehead, who was wearing a clerical collar, burgundy vestments with gold trim and a long gold necklace, stopped his sermon and crouched down, saying, “Yo, all right, all right, all right” as he lay on the floor, video obtained by the Daily News shows.
Only his legs and feet can be seen on the recording as he lay on the stage as the men bent over him and rifled his pockets.
The armed men, who can be seen in the video dressed in black and carrying handguns, removed the expensive bling from Whitehead and his wife, police and the bishop said.
Another man seen on the video sitting with what appears to be a prayer book watches impassively as the crime goes down.
The robbers took off in a white Mercedes-Benz and are still being sought, police said.

I suspect that there is an insurance fraud smell in the air.
“All right, all right?” Does that mean, “you are doing the robbery right, as we planned?”
$400,000 is a lot of bling, even in these days of Inflation!
Those robbers be off to trade the white Mercedes for a Rolls-Royce, for sure.
Good point. I have a hard time understanding how others like Trump’s Secretary of Defense stating that transgender military were fine or words to that effect. I recall a new SF LT in 67 had a small Green Beret tattoo on his wrist. The Group CO, an O-6, told him to remove it or the LT would be discharged. I do not understand these lax rules/regs of our military today. I would not serve with trans., gays, or any other whacko.
Bishops now get to be married?
this is the best post of the day......When was he “robbed”? Yesterday?
Graham? Yes of course, That family is no different than the rest of them.
If I’m so smart, how come I’m not a preacher man raking in the cash? Only green cash in my collections plate.
