In Łomża, Poland, a 28-year-old man was arrested. In December, he "broke the display case of the painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa and stole the decorations from inside".

He now faces a sentence of 10 years in prison. However, the sentence could be increased because of recidivism. He robbed another church in Łomża in 2017.
