While France is subject to lockdown measures related to the coronavirus, thieves stole three video projectors and the money collected during Masses from the safe in the church of Sacré-Cœur in Mantes-la-Ville on March 23rd.
Parish priest Matthieu Willamson said "There was no break-in. So it's someone who has the keys to the place. This is incomprehensible behavior at a time when a whole country is living in anguish and fear. The video projectors were installed a few weeks ago and were a gift from a local association."
