Thief Steals Donation Box, Drinks Wine in Sidi Slimane Mosque Break-In

A man broke into a mosque located in the center of the city of Sidi Slimane to steal the collection box for the collection of funds from the faithful and consume a bottle of wine, before fleeing. The alleged thief has not yet been identified.

The facts took place in the evening of March 26 in the Al Houda mosque, one of the largest mosques in the province and located in the center of the city of Sidi Slimane. The alleged thief would have managed to enter the mosque at the time of the Al Ichâ prayer and hide there, reports Al Akhbar. After the doors were closed and the faithful had left, he would have stolen the collection box for the collection of funds and consumed his bottle of wine. It was only at the reopening of the doors at dawn, on the occasion of the Sobh prayer, that he left the premises by one of the doors giving access to the mosque.

Informed, elements of the judicial police went to the Al Houda mosque, accompanied by members of the scientific and technical police. The latter examined the crime scene, recorded the fingerprints on the bottle of alcohol left by this unknown person in the middle of the mosque, then viewed the surveillance cameras of the shops located in front of the mosque. So far, the authorities have not been able to identify the alleged thief.
