Television Thieves Steal Four TVs From Douglaston Church: NYPD

DOUGLASTON, QUEENS — Two men broke into a Douglaston church and stole multiple televisions at the beginning of this month, police said.

The duo forced their way into Saint Sarkis Church, an Armenian church located on 234th Street near 38th Drive, by breaking the lock on the church's side basement door at about 1:45 a.m. on March 7, according to the NYPD.

Once inside the men yanked four wall-mounted televisions off the church's walls and ran off with the electronics in hand, the police said.

Police captured surveillance photos of the men in the church, but as of March 16 — over a week after the theft — no arrests have been made and an investigation remains ongoing, according to the NYPD.

The television thieves are described as a pair of men last seen wearing hooded outer layers, police said.

Anyone with information about the burglary is asked by police to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). People can also submit tips online or on Twitter, @NYPDTips.
