In 2014, a theft took place in the church.
In the American city of Houston , Texas, a plumber found thousands of bags of money in a church wall.
This was reported by KPRC-TV.
The incident took place in the Lakewood Evangelical Church – one from the largest religious institutions in the world, which is attended by more than 50 thousand people a week.
In 2014, a theft occurred in the church, after which about 200 thousand dollars in cash and 400 thousand dollars in the form of checks disappeared. Although a reward of $ 25,000 was announced for the information about the kidnappers, the crime has not yet been solved.
In November 2021, during repairs in the wall of one of the church's toilets, about three thousand bags with money and checks were found .
“I removed the thermal insulation, and about 500 bags fell out from under it,” the plumber told the radio station 100.3 The Bull.
How did the money end up in the toilet and whether the find was connected with the theft, which occurred seven years ago, has not yet been established.
Earlier it became known that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs Administration (HMRC) mistakenly transferred 775 thousand pounds sterling to the account of a woman Helen Peters.
