A flamboyant Brooklyn pastor notorious for wearing fashionable clothing and costly jewelry claims he and his wife were robbed of more than $1 million while ministering at church on Sunday.
According to police, three persons entered the Leaders of Tomorrow church on Sunday with weapons and seized the jewelry pastor Lamor Miller Whitehead, also known as Bishop, and his wife were wearing.
Police noted the investigation is “ongoing.”
A portion of the alleged event was captured on film from within the church.
CNN station WCBS received a piece of the video before it was pulled, which shows at least one offender putting a gun on the pastor and interrupting his sermon.
According to Whitehead, there were also gunmen with weapons raised to deacons at the door. According to police, there were 20 to 25 worshippers present.
According to the NYPD, the suspects stole more than $1 million in jewelry before fleeing the scene on foot. According to police, they got into a white Mercedes-Benz and were observed driving eastbound on Avenue D.
