Items stolen from Broadway church hold sentimental, religious value: Winnipeg police

Winnipeg police are looking for information about some unique items stolen late last month from a downtown church.

Police said the All Saints’ Anglican Church on Broadway was broken into between July 29-30, after someone threw a large rock through a stained glass window, causing more than $3,000 in damage.

“The perpetrator used a large rock to break through a stain glass window” Claude Chancy, Winnipeg Police Public Information Officer said, “They made their way inside and stole a variety of silver item that were used for the community during church services”

Among the items stolen in the break-in were unique communion plates and cups, which police said hold both sentimental and religious value to the church and its congregation.
