Archdeacon appeals for return of stolen church’s money

From St. Kitts-

ARCHDEACON Valentine Hodge of the St. George’s Anglican Church on Cayon Street, Basseterre is calling on the armed man to return the money he stole yesterday morning (Dec. 30) from the house of worship.

Speaking this morning with SKNVibes, the Archdeacon revealed that the armed man stole EC$13,921,47 from the church’s office while the Treasurer was awaiting the arrival of a security agency to remove the money from the church.

“The church, which I represent, would really like to have the money back because that is very important for us. It is people’s hard earned money which they have given for the work of the church to the glory of God and, therefore, it is of paramount importance to us. So, having the money back is one of the things we would really like,” the Archdeacon said.

He noted that it was an unfortunate incident but was high in praise of the police.

“The fact that the money was stolen from the church is unfortunate. I understand that the police are working on the case and that they are making some progress, and that is salutary on behalf of the Commissioner, the CID and his staff. And it does give us some confidence in the Force and in the work they are doing in order to apprehend those involved in criminality in the Federation.”
