Donation boxes that police said turned out to be empty were stolen during a late night break-in at the Islamic Society of Northern Baltimore on Nov. 4.
At around 10 p.m., an unknown suspect broke into the mosque in the 400 block of Padonia Road by smashing the glass of a door and gaining access to the kitchen area, police said.
From there, the suspect took two boxes marked for donated items and fled, but police spokeswoman Natalie Litofsky said the director of the mosque advised the boxes were empty.
The Islamic Society did not immediately return a phone call Friday afternoon.
