Cameroon: Thieves specialised in breaking into churches, arrested in Kumba

A gang of thieves made up of three men, have been arrested in the South West Region by forces of the Kumba Central police station, where the culprits are presently locked up for the meantime.

Aged 23, 19 and 25 years, the trio were specialised in carrying out armed operations on churches and the residences of pastors.

A magistrate of the Kumba town happens to have fallen victim to these bandits’ criminal endeavours. At the judge’s place, they made away with the sum of 400, 000FCFA and an automatic pistol.

Information coming from the Police forces reveals that the gang has an accomplice in town, who has been giving them information for their operations. This partner in crime is still at large.

The gang which decided to specialise only in the desecration of religious sacredness, was presented to the press yesterday Tuesday with their loot, estimated to cost 10 million FCFA. They will be presented before the prosecutor today Wednesday.
