On August 18, a 43-year-old man carried out an armed robbery on a priest of one of the parishes in Zabrze.
"The man came there with a package. The priest who was present at the scene thought it was an employee of a courier company. After a while, however, the man pulled out a revolver and demanded to hand over the money, while asking if there were any other people present at the parish. When the clergyman stated that he had no valuables and that there was still a housekeeper in the building, the man threw himself into a run," reports Zabrze police.
