An estimated $5,000 worth of sound equipment was taken Sunday from a storage trailer belonging to Awaken Church, a Grace Brethren congregation in Virginia Beach, Va.
“The guy was apprehended on Tuesday due to surveillance footage and an eyewitness from our congregation being the robbers neighbor and seeing the goods in his house,” says Michael Pumphrey, church planter and pastor. Before police could respond, the suspect had apparently sold everything, according to Pumphrey.
Detectives are working on recovering the stolen property now, but they are not certain they can get everything back.
Pumphrey adds a request: “Please pray for this man, whom I believe his name is Dave, and wisdom for us and recovery of the stolen equipment.”
Awaken Church began in 2008 and currently meets in rented space in a movie theater.
