STONEHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - The Stoneham Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying and apprehending a man who they believe stole money from a local church on two occasions.
In February, police said officers responded to St. Patrick’s Parish for a report of a larceny. A janitor told investigators that he witnessed a man pry open a donation box with a large screwdriver and remove money.
The janitor followed the man and was able to snap photos of him.
Police said a similar incident happened at the same church in October. Investigators believe the same suspect is behind that theft as well.
The suspect is described as a white man in his late 50s or 60s, with gray hair on the sides. He has a stocky build and was last seen wearing a green coat, red sweatshirt and blue jeans.
If anyone recognizes the suspect pictured, they are urged to call the police.
