'Guard' gets away with $144K church deposit

Police are looking for a brazen thief who went to Lincoln’s Berean Church dressed as an armored service guard — and walked away with nearly $145,000.

A man who appeared to be a guard with an armored car service walked into the church’s financial office Tuesday morning and told a woman he was there to pick up the deposit, said Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood.

When the woman said he was a little early, his response sounded plausible enough, Flood said.
