Christian bands The Prayer Chain and the Throes victims of crime
TOP CHRISTIAN rock bands the Prayer Chain and The Throes were the
victims of separate crimes following a concert in Dayton, Ohio while
the two were on tour together. After a concert at Dayton's Canal
Street Music Club in November, Prayer Chain members returned to the
band's vehicle to find that it had been burglarised. More than 2,000
dollars in cash were stolen along with personal belongings.
At
the same time The Throes lead singer/guitarist Bill Campbell was
leaving to go to dinner with a friend when the two were carjacked and
held at gunpoint for 30 minutes. Campbell's assailants brought him
back to the club in an effort to obtain more money from the club
owner. When they arrived, the Dayton police were at the club
investigating the Prayer Chain robbery. As Campbell and his friend
were released the assailants fled. They were subsequently apprehended
by the police.
