Money missing from Nova Scotia church

St. Columba Presbyterian Church in Marion Bridge, Nova Scotia, is missing between $30,000 and $60,000. Cape Breton police were investigating its disappearance back in May, although money was first reported missing on February 21. Rev. Kevin Richardson did confirm the money is yet to be found and said he was not aware of any new information pertaining to the case. Frank magazine reported the congregation’s lawyer, Blair Mitchell, of Mitchell & Ferguson Associates, as saying, “Members of the congregation have become aware of the possibility that funds are missing, and are taking appropriate steps to investigate that, and are looking to recover potential loss.” The congregation draws about 30 people on a Sunday, in a community of about 400. – AM/p>
