Flower Mound police identify Muhammed Khan as suspect in mosque donation theft
FLOWER MOUND, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Flower Mound police have identified Muhammed Khan, the man charged with breaking into a Denton mosque in 2021, as their suspect in a recent break-in at a Flower Mound mosque.
Monday morning, Khan sawed through an interior door and then pried open the back of boxes at the Islamic Association of Lewisville-Flower Mound that were used to collect donations for Turkey-Syria earthquake victims.
Security cameras caught him appearing to case the mosque the day before wearing the same shoes and driving the same car.
About a year and a half ago at the Islamic Society of Denton, Khan broke into donation boxes just like the ones at Islamic Association of Lewisville-Flower Mound, making off with at least $4,000.
Court records show Khan, a Virginia resident, was eventually brought to Denton County this September, charged with the Denton mosque theft and made bond. He has a court hearing set for March.
Police confirm they’ve identified Muhammed Khan, the man charged with breaking into a Denton mosque in 2021, as their suspect in this week’s break-in at a Flower Mound mosque.
