THERE was a break in at the office of a pastor at a Highlands church with a thief getting away with US$912 in cash on Monday night.

Seventh Day Adventist caretaker, Langalungile Masungenyoka, woke up to find out that the pastor’s office had been broken into through the roof.

The thief went on to cut off the CCTV connections and stole US$912, which was in the cash box.

Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the case.

“Police are investigating an unlawful entry and theft at a church in Highlands,” said Insp Chakanza.

“A total value stolen is US$912 and nothing was recovered,” he said.

One of the church members told H-Metro that there was strong suspicion that one of the church members connived with the thief.

“Not all church members are faithful and come here to seek grace and some have the wrong intentions and this causes such incidents.

“There is a Judas Iscariot among us who was paid to expose the church coffers to thieves.

“It is our prayer that the culprit be brought to book and face justice,” said the church member.
