STATESVILLE, N.C. — Authorities say a masked man walked into a North
Carolina church, demanding money then kidnapping two women after
finding out the church safe was empty.

Police told multiple media outlets the man let the women go unhurt
after using their ATM cards to get money during the Thursday afternoon
robbery.

The Rev. Donald Shuman says the suspect was wearing a ski mask and
gloves when he came to Broad Street United Methodist Church in
Statesville, sticking a gun in the face of the church's receptionist
and business manager.

Police say the women did what the robber demanded, begging him to not harm them.

A surveillance camera at one of the ATMs got a picture of the suspect, who investigators have not identified.
