A thief who broke into a church and carted away church instruments left a touching note explaining his actions.

The thief is said to have raided the Pentecost-English Assembly in Bogoso, in the Western Region of Ghana, and carted away two amplifiers, a drive, and other valuables after members had closed for the evening service.

According to local news outlets, church members returned the next day to find the auditorium had been plundered, as well as the note that the robber had left in the church.

In the note, the thief asked for the blessings of God while reminding the church that it was only Jesus who assisted a thief on the cross.

The Presiding Elder of the church, Samuel Kumi, who confirmed the news, said Bogoso Police Command has officially launched investigations that could lead to the arrest of the thief.
