Three people wanted for burglarizing Northwest DC church

New tonight, the search is on for three suspects who broke into and stole from a D.C. church. Yeah, that's right. And with more on that story tonight, we go to Shamari Stone, who joins us live from the scene. Well, tonight, these suspected chapel crooks are accused of breaking into this church right here. It is a historic church, and it was formerly known as the Lincoln Congregational Temple United Church of Christ. People who live in the Shaw neighborhood are disgusted. Let's show you those suspects. Take a look at this guy, long hair, eyeglasses unshaped beard walking upstairs inside the church Wednesday night on September 30th, this was once the historic Lincoln Congregational Temple United Church of Christ that opened in the 1920s, closed in 2018 and is now used by La Iglesia Ebenezer on the 1700 block of 11th Street Northwest the long-haired suspect goes to the front entrance holding a bag joined by his alleged partner in church crime a woman with long hair apart down the middle holding a bag and then a third suspect shows up. The suspects, according to the police report stealing three bass and acoustic guitars valued at three grand, 10 cordless microphones costing two thousand dollars and a five hundred dollar Sony camera, and then police tell me on October 1st, one of the suspects returns to the church with two other people stealing more stuff getting away. Tonight people hope police catch the suspected sanctuary sneaks. It is just so terrible I don't know why you would steal from a church and God is gonna get you, he's gonna get you, you're gonna have to pay it back I hope the police catch them I hope they get all the time that they deserve because you don't steal from the church, you don't steal from God. It's the God of the Holy Church, everybody go pray and they're just trying to grab this stuff out of their church It's so sad. I hope they catch them. That's right. A lot of people I talk to in this neighborhood are walking around like, What on earth is happening? Who steals from a church? Well, police urge anyone with information, if you recognize those two people shown on the video, the trio right there, call police. Also, there's a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest and a conviction. In this case, I'm Shamari Stone. Back to you
