THREE members of Mount Tabor Baptist Church were robbed at gunpoint of a “large amount of cash”, suspected to be the church’s offering collection, and cell phones on Sunday.
According to police, officers are looking for two gunmen in a silver Honda Accord, licence plate number 179338, believed to be behind the incident.
Police did not name the church in their official report but sources confirmed that the robbery occurred in the parking lot of the popular Pinewood Gardens place of worship.
According to the Royal Bahamas Police Force, the robbery took place shortly after 12.30pm as three men were about to drive off in a vehicle from the church’s parking lot.
“Two men armed with handguns approached them and robbed them of two cell phones and a large amount of cash,” police said.
Reports began to circulate that the amount of money stolen was around $18,000, but Assistant Commissioner of Police Stephen Dean said that amount was inaccurate. However, he would not reveal the amount of cash that was stolen.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS.

At least the money is going to better use than Neil Ellis' pocket.
