Thieves have burgled the Methodist Church of Ghana at Tinkong in the Akuapem North Municipality of the Eastern region.

The burglars made away with a Yamaha keyboard, 12 channels sound Mixer with an Amplify, Sound Exciter, 2500 Power Amplifier, and Cordless microphones.

The incident affected the mood of church members Sunday.

Rev. Maxwell Owusu, Minister in Charge of the local Methodist Church told Starr News, the suspects broke into the Church auditorium after damaging the main gate of the church to have access.

He said, the incident has been reported to the Adawso Police but no arrest has been made for now.

Tinkong Community is notorious for Church musical instrument theft.

A few months ago, the Presbyterian Church was similarly burgled with musical instruments stolen.
