The stain glass windows of the Notre-Dame de Sacquenville church in Evreux (Eure) were broken by unknown vandals. Three of the windows were damaged by rocks and the crime was being investigated. Richard Finix, the mayor of the town, has asked for witnesses to identify the vandals.

He said "It is intolerable and unbearable to see deterioration, degradation, vandalization of our heritage while we invest substantial sums for several years to restore our most beautiful historical testimony"
