The New York Daily News reports:
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, 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.
Whitehead made the news recently when he tried to orchestrate the surrender of the man accused of fatally shooting Goldman Sachs researcher Daniel Enriquez on the Q train, to the mayor. After alerting the media, he showed up at the precinct where the suspect was to turn himself in wearing a thick gold chain and Fendi blazer.
