Greek Orthodox Church Suffers Massive Robbery, Australia
Australia's Holy Monastery of Panagia Kamariani has suffered a massive robbery, according to Neos Kosmos.
The Greek Orthodox Church located in Red Hill, was vandalized by thieves who broke the glass of a Virgin Mary icon. The felons stole hundreds of items of gold jewelry that was encased inside.
The Church received the gold through donations, beginning in 1984. Police have determined that the jewelry was worth more than $100,000 and included crosses, coins, bracelets, rings, bangles and chains.
The criminals broke into Panagia Kamariani on Wednesday at 3:20 p.m. Anyone with information on the crime has been asked to contact Crime Stoppers at: 1800 333 000, or: www.crimestoppers.vic.com.au to file a confidential report.
