A thief entered a church on the St. John’s University campus in Queens through an unlocked door and stole $300 in cash. The NYPD said the suspect was captured on surveillance footage taking the money from an office desk. University spokesperson Brian Browne said the suspect was spotted on surveillance footage taking the money from an office desk.
'The safety and security of our campus community are essential, and our investments in Public Safety and our cooperative relationship with law enforcement help ensure that,' Browne said in an email. 'Churches are meant to be safe, welcoming places for all, and doors are often left open for worshipers. Unfortunately, that can also invite criminal activity as in this isolated situation.' The NYPD released images of the suspect wearing a blue hooded jacket and a black vest. Anyone with information was asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS
