A preacher known for his flashy lifestyle — and close friendship with Mayor Eric Adams — was robbed of more than $1 million in jewelry at his Brooklyn church service, just as he was sermonizing about keeping faith in the face of grave adversity, police say
Police said the robbers fled in a white Mercedes that was last seen on Avenue D near the church, in Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood. Neither Miller-Whitehead, 44, nor DosReis-Whitehead, 38, were physically injured, police said. They daughter was also unharmed.
A city hall spokesperson said New York Mayor Eric Adams spoke with Miller-Whitehead after the robbery Sunday. Adams, a former police captain, grew close to Miller-Whitehead while serving as Brooklyn’s borough president — the position he held for eight years until becoming mayor in January. Miller-Whitehead made an unsuccessful bid last year to succeed Adams in that post.
