Cops: Norcross Teen Lied About Kidnapping at Church

Norcross Police believe a 19-year-old lied about members of a local church kidnapping her and cutting off her dress as part of a religious ritual.

According to the original police report, the Norcross woman told investigators that she went to the Warehouse Church, a small, non-denominational congregation located at 6191 Atlantic Boulevard in the city, at 12:15 p.m. last week for Sunday service.

She immediately met with two church members, who escorted her to another room. They held her down while one of them removed her dress by cutting it with a pair of scissors, according to the report.

Multiple church members joined in and began praying and pouring water on her, and they placed her in a shirt and sweatpants. She was kept in another room until the church service was over, and then she left.

Norcross Police followed up with other church members and witnesses, who said the 19-year-old is actually a previous member, not a regular church-goer of three years like she had told police.
