Video After The Jump
New York (CNN) A flashy Brooklyn pastor known for wearing designer outfits and extravagant jewelry says he was robbed along with his wife of more than $1 million while he was preaching at church Sunday.
Police say that 3 people entered the Leaders of Tomorrow church Sunday with firearms & removed the jewelry pastor Lamor Miller-Whitehead, who goes by Bishop & his wife were wearing. Police noted the investigation is "ongoing."
The video is no longer available on the church's livestream, but Whitehead told WCBS what happened.
"That -- 'all right, all right, all right' -- is pretty much stating that I don't want, I'm not going to do anything, right, 'cause I know y'all coming for me, y'all coming straight to me. I don't want my parishioners hurt," he said.
"I got women & children there. As I got down, one went to my wife & took all her jewelry, and had the gun in front of my 8-month-old baby's face," he continued.
"Took off my bishop's ring, my wedding band & took off my bishop chain, and then I had chains underneath my robe, and he start tapping my neck to see if (there was) anything else -- so that means they knew, they watched & they knew that I have other jewelry," he said.
The NYPD said they received a report that the suspects took more than $1 million worth of jewelry and then fled the location on foot. They reportedly entered a white Mercedes-Benz.
