Super Rich Bishop Robbed During Live-Streamed Sunday Service; $400K In Jewelry Taken [Video]

Brooklyn, New York -- Several thieves were caught on camera robbing a blinged-out bishop in New York City over the weekend while the victim was broadcasting his service online.

Bishop Lamor Whitehead was in the middle of his sermon at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie, Brooklyn, shortly before 11:15 a.m. Sunday when three masked gunmen entered, the New York Post reported, citing police.

Whitehead, who was wearing a gold-trimmed suit, long gold chain and a large ring on each finger at the time, hit the floor on his hands and knees following the interruption, footage of the incident showed.

“All right, all right, all right," Whitehead said as he got down on the ground.

The robbers took $400,000 worth of jewelry from Whitehead, his wife and possibly some of the churchgoers, according to police. They reportedly fled east on Avenue D in a white Mercedes-Benz.

The men are still being sought.

Sunday's robbery "traumatized" Whitehead's congregation, the bishop revealed in an Instagram video following the incident.

"I ain’t never scared, and I’m not up here being boastful or talking bad about nobody, but you have these women and children crying still. That’s not gangster. That’s a layup, like, 'Oh, I robbed a church.' You don’t get no points for that," said Whitehead, who currently has 1.6 million followers on his account.

Despite what happened, the bishop said the robbery will not affect his preaching in the future.

"We’re pushing, we’re still doing what we need to do,” Whitehead said, according to New York Daily News. “I’m not a person from the suburbs; I’m from Brooklyn, I’m from the city. I understand the streets, this bishop. I’m not scared."

Whitehead made the news recently when he tried to negotiate the surrender of Andrew Abdullah, the man accused of fatally shooting 48-year-old Goldman Sachs researcher Daniel Enriquez aboard the Manhattan-bound Q train during an apparent random attack on May 22.

The bishop, who is an ally of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, showed up at the Fifth Precinct in a Rolls Royce to supposedly usher in the surrender, but Abdullah was instead arrested by police at the Legal Aid Society offices in Manhattan.

Whitehead previously served five years in prison for a $2 million identity theft scam.
