Forsyth County deputies need help finding suspects who stole from a Hindu temple

Deputies in Forsyth County said a group of people posing a tourists stole thousands of dollars in gold from a Hindu temple in Cumming.
 
Forsyth County Sheriff's Cpl. Doug Rainwater said surveillance video inside the Sri Maha Lakshmi Temple of Atlanta shows the group taking gold worth almost $15,000 from inside the building on May 16th.

"Six individuals walked into the temple. Two of them sidetracked the two priests while the others went into the prayer room and immediately started taking the real gold necklaces off of the statues," Rainwater said.

He said investigators do have a few still images of the suspects and they believe the group is tied to other thefts in the area, including a similar incident in Clayton County over the weekend.
