The teen boys jumping up and down at a South Dade church today weren't exactly praise dancing because they were overcome with the Holy Spirit.
Miami-Dade Police said it was more like the spirit of stealing. Surveillance cameras captured the images as four boys broke into Grace Baptist Church on Friday morning and cracked the safe in the pastor's office.
Churches are becoming popular targets for bandits in Miami-Dade, with Grace Baptist becoming the second church hit by thieves not afraid to trample on hallowed ground.
One teen is seen jumping up and down in excitement after the safe is opened and wads of cash are found inside. The kids apparently broke into the church through an office window.
But they didn't get to enjoy their caper for too long. Police believe they have tracked down the boys and stopped two school buses near the church and pulled a couple boys off for a trip to the precinct.
What gave them away? The dance moves on the surveillance camera.
