Donation box stolen from local mosque

Posted: Updated:

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- Schenectady Police are investigating a burglary at a city mosque that happened around noon on Wednesday. 

Someone emptied the donation box inside the mosque on Brandywine Avenue and stole close to $600.  Surveillance video captured the suspect attempting to gain access to the building through a number of different doors and windows. 

Once successfully inside through a window, the president of the mosque Muhammed Zamani says the suspect then emptied the donation box of the money.

"I've never seen the guy before," said Zamani.  "I just want to know how he knew what doors to go to and then head directly to the donation box."

Schenectady Police ask anyone with information to please contact them.
