Texas trio sought in Oklahoma for reportedly taking $25K from guy praying at place of worship…
Authorities in Oklahoma are on the lookout for a trio of individuals from Texas accused of stealing $25,000 from a man while he was praying at a local place of worship. The incident, which has shocked both the community and law enforcement, occurred on December 5 at a church in Oklahoma City. According to the Oklahoma City Police Department, the suspects targeted the victim, who had been praying quietly inside the church, before stealing a substantial sum of money from him.
The victim, identified as a local businessman, was reportedly sitting in a private area of the church when the suspects approached him. Authorities believe the trio had prior knowledge of the victim’s plans to withdraw and bring the large sum of money for a personal matter. The suspects allegedly distracted the victim by engaging in conversation before taking the money from his belongings, and quickly fled the scene.
The theft was discovered shortly after the suspects left the church. The victim immediately reported the crime to the police, who launched an investigation into the incident. Surveillance footage from the church has provided critical evidence, capturing images of the three individuals as they entered and exited the building. Authorities are now working to trace their whereabouts, identifying them as residents of Texas.
Police say the suspects, described as two men and a woman, are wanted for grand larceny. The trio, whose identities have not yet been made public, are believed to have traveled across state lines after the crime, and law enforcement agencies in Texas and Oklahoma are collaborating in the search for the suspects.
The local community has been left reeling from the shocking crime, with church leaders expressing concern over the safety and security of their members. “This is a place of peace and refuge,” said the Reverend Thomas Williams of the church where the theft took place. “To think that someone could violate this sacred space in such a way is deeply troubling.”
Oklahoma authorities have urged anyone with information about the suspects’ whereabouts to come forward. A reward is being offered for tips that lead to their arrest. As the investigation continues, police are also asking for help identifying any additional witnesses or people who may have seen suspicious activity in the area around the time of the theft.
