Masked Gang Robs Church, Priest, and Security Guard

In a shocking incident at St. Benedict’s Roman Catholic Church in La Romaine, a Catholic priest and a security guard were victims of a terrifying robbery executed by a masked gang. The early-morning crime was orchestrated with precision, hinting at a high level of organization. The gang entered the church compound, incapacitated the security officer, and managed to disable the power supply of the church’s administrative building before ransacking it. The priest, Fr. Derek Anton, was awakened and bound in his quarters, his personal belongings and Sunday’s church collections stolen. The incident has prompted serious concerns about security in religious institutions, particularly in the face of rising crime rates nationwide. While police found fingerprints and other potential evidence, no arrests have been made and investigations continue.
