Ra­madan ob­ser­vances at a Pe­nal mosque have been marred by a bur­glary in which cash and oth­er items were stolen.

The theft was dis­cov­ered around 12.30 pm on Tues­day when a wor­ship­per ar­rived at the mosque. The lock on the col­lec­tion box was bro­ken, and mon­ey, the Imam’s mi­cro­phone, bat­ter­ies, and oth­er items were miss­ing. Paint from a can used to smash a lock was splat­tered on the floor.
