The Hin­du tem­ple in Cara­po has been robbed again a few days be­fore Fa­ther’s Day. Last month, the same tem­ple was robbed dur­ing the Moth­er’s Day week­end.

At that time, the Cara­po Hin­du Tem­ple lost at least $5,000 in valu­ables.

When the thieves broke in­to the tem­ple, they even had a feast of corned beef and bread af­ter cook­ing the corned beef in a pot used to pre­pare veg­e­tar­i­an meals in the tem­ple. Hin­dus do not eat beef.

The most re­cent rob­bery oc­curred on Fri­day night.

Speak­ing off the record, a mem­ber of the ex­ec­u­tive of the tem­ple, who asked not to be named, said this time the thieves took a mi­crowave, ring stove and gas tank. The mi­crowave was lat­er re­trieved near a man­go tree at the tem­ple.

He said the po­lice ad­vised them when they look at the footage and have more de­tails about what hap­pened, the Ex­ec­u­tive of the tem­ple would be able to speak about the in­ci­dent.

Vice Pres­i­dent of the Mandir, Han­sraj Ramd­hanie, pro­vid­ed pho­tos of the break-in, which show that glass doors in the tem­ple were smashed.
