Lesbian couple robs nun, ‘steals rosary beads’

US: A married lesbian couple has allegedly robbed a Roman Catholic nun who was taking an afternoon walk at knife point and fled with her rosary beads in Massachusetts US on Sunday.


According to Quincy Police, a sister at the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth convent who was wearing civilian clothes and carrying a small bag was stopped by the couple on Phipps St, Massachusetts.

In a report by WCVB, one of the women identified as Vanessa Young, 26, allegedly approached the nun with a knife and attempted to snatch the satchel.
When the nun told her she didn’t have any money, Vanessa Young allegedly replied;

“I’m not going to hurt you.”

A police report said, the nun showed Vanessa Young that she was only carrying rosary beads, a key and a small memento as Vanessa Young then apparently said;

“I’ll guess I’ll take the rosary beads.”

Vanessa Young then fled with her wife, Crystal Young, 26 who had been standing close-by acting as a watch police said.

The nun ran back to the convent and called the police, who later arrested the lesbian couple.
Police said the couple were carrying a small knife, six mobile phones and a stolen cheque book, but no rosary beads was found on them.

Vanessa Young was arraigned in court on Monday and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon while Crystal Young who was accused of being the lookout was charged with armed robbery and accessory after the fact.
