Donations and cancer funds were stolen from a north Alabama church during services Sunday, and authorities say they need help identifying a man and a woman who may have committed the theft.
The money was taken during 10 a.m. worship services Sunday at the Church of Christ at Center Hill in Lauderdale County, the sheriff’s office said Thursday.
A man and a woman captured on surveillance video may have taken the funds, authorities said.
The sheriff’s office released the footage Thursday.
During the service, the pair went into the foyer, where they were met by two men from the church.
The man asked for gas money while the woman went to the restroom and then came back to the foyer, the sheriff’s office said.
The pair were asked to stay at the church until the service concluded but they left in an older model medium to light blue Nissan truck with body damage on the passenger side, the sheriff’s office said.
The missing funds were noticed after the service, when boxes were emptied of cash and checks.
The incident remained under investigation Thursday.
Anyone with information on the incident or anyone who recognizes the man or woman was asked to contact sheriff’s office Investigator Hughes at 256-760-5762 or the sheriff’s office at 256-760-5757.
Further information was unavailable.
