On January 16, some hooded men, during the early morning, destroyed the graves and tore off crosses and other religious images from the cemetery of Espinardo, Murcia, in order to steal them.
This is not the only incident of this kind in the region. In 2024, religious images have been stolen in at least 19 Christian cemeteries in Toledo, another in Madrid and another in Murcia, and have attacked at least three cemeteries.
