New York City police have released surveillance video of a woman pilfering a donation box during a burglary at a parish church last week.
Police say the woman and her male accomplice forced their way into St. Helen’s Roman Catholic Church in Howard Beach, Queens, around 3 a.m. Thursday and looted four collection boxes, stealing about $400 in cash.
"The perpetrators then fled in a red four-door sedan,” the NYPD's 106th precinct said.
Police released the video footage seeking to identify the woman.
