?Two peo­ple were in­jured yes­ter­day when the con­tro­ver­sial Church of the Light­house of the Lord Je­sus Christ at the Heights of Gua­napo, Ari­ma, col­lapsed.

One suf­fered in­juries to the head and the oth­er on the foot. There has been in­creased loot­ing at the now aban­doned mega-struc­ture. Po­lice were called on the scene and one of the in­jured was tak­en to hos­pi­tal by am­bu­lance. Sources said that loot­ing con­tin­ued last night af­ter the po­lice left. They said that since the part of the struc­ture was now on the ground, it made it eas­i­er for peo­ple to take ma­te­ri­als away. Trucks and jeeps were seen be­ing loaded with ma­te­ri­als last night.

At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan said he had no stand­ing to in­ter­vene to pre­vent loot­ing or law­less­ness at the in­com­plete church. Ram­lo­gan was quot­ed as mak­ing that de­c­la­ra­tion, in a news state­ment is­sued yes­ter­day. "The sub­ject premis­es are pri­vate prop­er­ty and the State can­not tres­pass on same," the state­ment said.

The AG's re­lease added: "Or­di­nar­i­ly, the own­er should make a re­port to the po­lice about theft to ob­tain po­lice pro­tec­tion." Ram­lo­gan was quot­ed as ex­press­ing "alarm" about "the law­less­ness." But he said he had no con­trol over the po­lice and "could nei­ther in­struct nor di­rect them."

He said the si­lence of the own­er of the prop­er­ty and the Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice was "deaf­en­ing." He said the own­er of the fa­cil­i­ty "re­mains a mys­tery." Ram­lo­gan ex­pressed "dis­ap­point­ment" that nei­ther the Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er nor the In­tegri­ty Com­mis­sion had in­ter­vened. He in­sist­ed that the In­tegri­ty Com­mis­sion was "specif­i­cal­ly em­pow­ered in law to seek the as­sis­tance of the Po­lice Ser­vice."
