WESTBURY
Woman who stole cash in church charged

WESTBURY (AP)—Police said a congregant at a Long Island church disregarded at least one of its commandments: Thou shalt not steal.
Nassau County police said the 46-year-old woman reached over a pew and took cash from a purse while its owner knelt Sunday at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church in Westbury. Police said an usher saw the theft, and officers stopped the woman as she left the church.
Police said they determined that the same woman stole cash from another worshipper’s purse while that victim went to communion May 10.
The woman has been released on an appearance ticket after being arrested on petit larceny charges. She faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
