Thieves broke into the Sacred Heart Church in Mantes-la-Ville to rob it. Three video projectors were stolen as well as the contents of a safe that contained cash from the weekly collection.

This robbery so annoyed Father Matthieu Williamson, who heads the parish of Mantes-la-Jolie, that he condemned the act on Facebook and called on the thieves to turn themselves in.

“There was no break-in,” said the clergyman, “so someone must have obtained the keys to the church. This is incomprehensible behaviour at a time when the whole country lives in anguish and fear. The video projectors were installed a few weeks ago, and were gifted to us by a local association,” he explained.
