MADRID (ACI Prensa) - La parroquia Santa Maria Madre del Divino Pastor, en La Camella, Tenerife, fue asaltada y profanada durante la madrugada del 20 al 21 de junio.
Los ladrones forman parte de una banda especializada en el robo de iglesias que lleva operando varios meses en la isla.
Segun informo el diario La Opinion de Tenerife, los ladrones entraron por la fuerza en la iglesia, forzaron el sagrario para robar las formas consagradas y numerosos objetos de culto, asi como el dinero de las limosnas de los fieles.
Los ladrones fueron sorprendidos por el fuerte ruido que realizaron durante el robo, que desperto a las Hermanas de la Caridad de Santa Ana, que duerme en unas dependencias contiguas a la iglesia. Al verse descubiertos, los delincuentes huyeron.
El P. Emiliano Rodriguez, parroco de Arona, declaro a los medios de comunicacion que "hay sospechas de que se trata de la misma banda, de gente de fuera, que estan buscando dinero y objetos de valor".
Las religiosas llamaron a las autoridades que realizaron una inspeccion ocular y evaluaron el robo en unos tres mil euros.
Medios locales sospechan que el robo lo realizo la misma banda que ya ha asaltado en al menos nueve capillas y ermitas en los ultimos meses.
El robo mas importante por su cuantia tuvo lugar en la iglesia de San Mateo en Punta del Hidalgo, en donde sustrajeron unos 10 mil euros.
