Church members at the PCEA Tayari church in Molo awoke to unexpected news on Tuesday morning when robbers entered into the church and stole items of unknown value.

Church officials reported receiving frantic calls from neighbours after the Church Security officer was discovered tied up in ropes at the church grounds.

The robbers are believed to have entered the church through the window, with officials stating they were after offering money gathered on Sunday during the Women's Guild function. Unfortunately, the funds had been transferred to the church's account.

Other things stolen from the church include a piano, a church amplifier system, pulpit covers, and hymn books. Church members have denounced the insecurity act and urged Molo police to conduct frequent day and night patrols to combat the rising number of insecurity instances.

Officers from Molo's Directorate of Criminal Investigation came on the spot and began the investigation.
