Stolen Heat Pumps Leave Virginia Church in Cold

Parishioners at a Virginia church were left out in the cold when thieves stole two heat pumps connected to the building.

Pastor Archie Timmons Jr. told WVEC-TV that the heat pumps were stolen Thursday from the Greater Virginia-Carolina Temple Church of God in Christ in Suffolk.

Timmons’ wife, Laura Timmons, says she’s contacted the church’s insurance company about the losses.

Sunday services at the 100-member church were moved to a nearby fellowship hall where there’s a gas heater.

A call to the church went unanswered Sunday night.
