NEW YORK - Two grinches spoiled Christmas Day for a church, robbing the safe of more than $20,000 in donations for needy children, police said.
The pastor at St. Mel's Roman Catholic Church in Queens said he believed the two men knew where they were going when they broke in through the back door and stole between $20,000 and $30,000 after morning Mass.
“It was done while the people were in the building,” the Rev. Christopher J. Turczany said.
When the church employees left the back area where the safe was located, “the money box was removed,” he said. A parishioner saw the getaway and wrote down the license plate number, but no arrests had been made.
