BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Back to Basics Outreach Ministries is asking the City of Good Neighbors for help after a catalytic converter was stolen from their truck.

Pastor James Giles tells 7 News reporter Yoselin Person that the truck is used to deliver fresh produce to those in need and would cost more than $6,000 to repair.

"We can see him coming out and putting it in the back seat of his car," he said. "If somebody turns in a catalytic converter, I want you to know that person stole it from 1370 William Street. That move is going to hurt the community, it hurts my community and it’s a shame."

Some community members say they are disgusted.

"Back to Basics does a lot for the community, and this truck provides food for people," said Jeannette King. "When I saw that and saw the video, it really hurt me."

If you would like to help Pastor Giles and the Back to Basics community, call (716) 854-1086.
