Sometime between 31 January and 3 February, unknown offenders vandalised a historic painting depicting St Michael the Archangel, whose face was covered with yellow and dark brown paint. The painting was on display at the Municipal Cultural Centre in Dydnia.
According to the local parish priest, Father Jan Dąbal, the painting "was deposited in the GOK in Dydn in a closed room, where he was to be subjected to further conservation work".
The police carried out the necessary measures at the scene and then referred the case to the District Prosecutor's Office in Brzozów with a request to open a formal investigation.
