'Flashy' NYC bishop robbed of $1m in jewellery during live sermon

Jun 22,2022 2:50 am

A preacher known for his flamboyant lifestyle was robbed of More Than $1m (£840,000) in jewellery during a livestreamed sermon in The City of New York .

Lamor Whitehead, 44, has vowed that the culprits " won't get away with it"

Among the items taken from the flashy, Rolls Royce-driving clergyman were Rolexes, diamonds and emeralds.

Police are still investigating The Incident . No suspects have So Far been named or apprehended.

In the video Mr Whitehead is heard asking " How many of you have lost your faith because you saw Somebody Else die? " moments before several black-clad gunmen entered The Church in Brooklyn.

It is not clear how many people were in attendance during The Service .

" When I see them come into The Sanctuary with their guns, I told everybody [to] get down, everybody just get down, " he later Said on Instagram.

" I didn't know if they wanted to shoot The Church up or if they were just coming for a robbery. "

According to Mr Whitehead, the masked thieves escaped in a Mercedes.

Following The Robbery , the New York Post reported that the items taken from him and his wife included $75,000 Rolex and Cavalier watches, a $25,000 Episcopal ruby and diamond ring and a $25,000 pair of earrings - and even his Wedding Band .

" For You to Kick In a church door and come with guns in The Middle of Service - what God is gonna do to y'all is above my paygrade,'' He Said of The Thieves on Instagram.

The Bbc has reached out to Mr Whitehead for comment.

In a statement, New York City mayor Eric Adams - who has known Mr Whitehead since at least 2013 - Said that New York Police Department was investigating The Crime .

" No One in this city should be The Victim of armed robbery, let alone our faith leaders, " Mr Adams Said .

Mr Whitehead, for his part, has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

The Robbery isn't the First Time that The Bishop has been in The News . Just two months ago, he reportedly attempted to negotiate The Surrender of a suspect who shot and killed A Man on a Manhattan-bound subway train.

The latest incident, however, prompted a torrent of criticism on Social Media about his luxurious tastes and opulent lifestyle.

" It's not about me being flashy, " Mr Whitehead Said . " It's about me purchasing what I want to purchase. "
