(WSB Radio) The minister of a Gwinnett County church says thieves broke into his car and took thousands of dollars worth of stuff that belonged to the church.

Bishop Wayne Pugh, who has preached all over the world, says there is one item he really wants back.

"There was thousands of dollars worth of equipment.  I mean there was, you know, probably lost about $50,000 of equipment.  But, all I asked him was - I want my Bible back," said Pugh.

Pugh, who found his abandoned the day after the burglary in a neighborhood near Simonton Glen Way in Lawrenceville, believes he knows who the suspect is.

"I mean he's standing there wearing my clothes - and I said I just want my Bible back," said Pugh.

Gwinnett County Police say they know about the suspect and believe he is part of a bigger investigation.
