On the night of September 3, unknown perpetrators broke into the parish house of Corneliastrasse in Unkel through a window and ransacked the premises. They also stole sacred objects from the church.

The perpetrators apparently did not take anything from the parish house, but they found the key to the neighbouring church and took sacred objects from there.
