The NYPD is looking for two teenagers who are wanted for burglary and arson after they broken into a North Corona church’s shed and lit a piece of cloth on fire last month.
On Sep. 10 at 12:44 a.m., the two boys entered Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church, located at 104-11 37th Ave., through an open gate. From there, they broke into a shed at the back with an unknown tool, according to police.
The teens removed two gas canisters from the shed and used the gasoline inside to light a piece of cloth on fire. They then fled with the gas cans, police said.
