Flashy NYC Bishop Lamor Whitehead & Wife robbed in $400K jewelry heist during livestreamed service
On Sunday during morning church service, a flashy Brooklyn bishop and his wife were robbed when masked robbers blazing guns accosted him at the podium before fleeing with $400,000 in jewelry, cops said.
It was all caught on camera during the live-streamed service.
The news made a big deal of Bishop Lamor Whitehead driving a Rolls-Royce.
On Sunday, Whitehead was in the middle of his sermon at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie around 11:14 a.m. when three masked gunmen burst in, police said.
“How many of you have lost your faith because you saw somebody else die?” Whitehead asked his congregation — right before spotting the armed intruders.
“All right, all right,” Whitehead then said several times before hitting the floor on his hands and knees.
The men took $400,000 worth of jewelry from Whitehead, his wife and possibly churchgoers, according to police. Whitehead, dressed in a maroon suit with a gold-trimmed collar and sleeve cuffs, was wearing a long gold chain and a large ring on each finger at the time.
The robbers fled East on Avenue D after the crime. Their vehicle plates were caught on camera.
We now see on a bishop on the rise in fame and popularity…
