A ST THOMAS church is now looking to upgrade its security following a brazen robbery in its yard on Wednesday night.

Minister in charge of Sharon Moravian Church, Reverend Ezra Parris, and the church’s organist were robbed at gunpoint as they attempted to exit a vehicle shortly after 7:30 p.m.

The two men had just pulled into the driveway of the church when they were approached by several men, one of whom was armed with a gun.

None of the church officials suffered from serious injury during the attack, despite the organist being slapped in the face by one of the attackers. (RB)
