As reported on February 16, stained glass windows in the church of Saint-Chéron, France, were smashed by vandals.

Similar damage was also done to the roof of a public building, and ashes from burnt rubbish were found at the foot of the multi-purpose hall. Lastly, there are tags everywhere. These are deliberate acts of malice.
