The find in the Lakewood Evangelical Church of Houston was revealed during renovations. It may be related to the 2014 temple robbery.
In the wall of a church in the American state of Texas, a plumber found hundreds of bags of money. This was reported by the TV channel KPRC-TV.-
It is noted that the incident took place in the American city of Houston in the Lakewood Evangelical Church.
In 2014, one of the largest religious communities in the world became a victim of theft: about 200 thousand dollars in cash and 400 thousand dollars in the form of checks disappeared from the safe in the temple.
Despite the fact that a reward of 25 thousand dollars was announced for information about the abductors, the crime has not yet been solved.

In November, during renovations, hundreds of bags containing money and receipts were found in the wall of one of the church’s toilets.
“I removed the insulation and about 500 bags fell out from under it,” said the plumber.
How the money ended up in the toilet and whether the find is related to the theft that occurred seven years ago has not yet been established.
Police interrogated Pastor Joel Austin, who is considered an ardent supporter of the so-called prosperity gospel: the belief that wealth goes to the most devout Christians.
His fortune is estimated at $ 50 million.
