Weird Thieves STOLE 5-foot CRUCIFIX during Mass at St. Anthony of Pardua in Bronx New York City

Criminal and thieves don't have boundaries, everywhere is 'encroachable'.

  

Police report the unthinkable, as thieves made away with a $5,000 crucifix on Wednesday night from the lobby of Saint Anthony of Padua in the Bronx's Morrisania neighborhood.

 

Bizarre enough, the crucifix was stolen during an actual mass. 

 

'I’m distressed. That crucifix means so much to the people here … I’ve never seen anything like this,' Pastor Josu Iriondo told the New York Post.

 

As for who might be responsible, he said, 'It’s someone who knew what they were doing. They had to be professionals.'

 

Now he, and his congregation, are praying for the crucifix's safe return.

'That cross means so much to people even passing by. We could save one or two persons by just looking at it,' Pastor Iriondo said
