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.

The Lord commanded him to wear dat bling! “’Yo gotsta!”, he said.
Reparations?

Restorative ministry
“… The robbers took off in a white Mercedes-Benz…”

Obviously they’re angels.😇😇
$400K in jewelry, a Rolls Royce and no security.
Why, pray tell, am I laughing my ass off?
Prosperity gospel = Fake Christianity
Jesus would’ve slapped the “bling” off these charlatan “ministers.”
Me too.
Hardly the attire of a man of the cloth ministering to the less fortunate.
Maybe as a Bishop he is above such considerations?
Well, if it is okay for the WHITE Copeland, Roberston, Osteen, Hinn, Graham, Warren, Meyer, Falwell, and Roberts families to enrich themselves, shouldn’t it be equally okay for black families to do the same? /s
The lord giveth. The lord taketh away.

The irony is when God lets crooks get back at other crooks.
You can’t tell me God doesn’t have a well developed sense of humor.
As an infinite all powerful being, He can afford to. If it were me I’d just strike them all down where they stand, for the immediate improvement of society their absence creates.

Fox News worked hard selling Adams as tough on crime, LOL.
A Week after the Election, they find a Video of Adams saying he likes to kick Cracker’s asses, and other racist diatribes.
It wasn’t hard to see Adams buys most of the crazy Dem platform and buys the Louis Farrakhan crap, too.
He’s a disaster.
(Obviously they’re angels.😇😇)
OK, we may not always agree but DANG, that was funny! 😂😄😆🤣😜
How much was culturally appropriated from ????? I will reverse course here. This is an insurance scam. The alleged preacher is in on this.
It’s hard to feel good about an armed robbery in a church, but somehow...
(You can’t tell me God doesn’t have a well developed sense of humor.)
Hey now, if you’re gonna bring up my love life then I’m going to another thread. 😜
Kinda strange. Robbery during a public ceremony. Obviously planned ahead of time. Could have easily been done just before, or after the sermon. Only 400k? Lot more could be taken at a well planned smash and grab jewelry store job.
