BRONX - An ambitious crook made off with the safe from a Bronx church on the back of his moped, the NYPD said. 


At around noon on December 3, the suspect forcibly opened the basement door to the church Place of Worship Church of God in the East Tremont section of the Bronx. Cops said the thief removed a safe from inside the church and carried it outside. 


Surveillance video shows the suspect laboring to lift the safe off the ground and place it on the back of his moped. Cops said the suspect then drove off with the safe. 


However, the joke is apparently on the thief because cops said the safe contained no cash. The safe is said to have contained business documents and other items. 


The suspect is described as a male with a light complexion who is 5 foot 10. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue pants and black shoes.


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls are strictly confidential.
