During Easter, unknown perpetrators profanated buried corpses in tombs in the churchyard in Lębork in the district of Pomerania. The bones were taken from their coffins.

Parishioners alerted the priest who informed the police. They had noticed an open entrance to a tomb. There, two of three coffins had been opened and bones of the deceased stolen. No further details, including information about the motivation of the perpetrators, have been released.
