Desecration at Church in Les Herbiers
Four young men broke into the church of Saint-Pierre and overturned benches, broke vases, and emptied a fire extinguisher. They urinated and defecated in the holy water on the altar and on the altar itself.
The young men entered the building by climbing the scaffolding installed for the renovation of the roof.Construction workers have discovered the damage. Arrested the next day by the police, the suspects confessed. They will appear in November before the Criminal Court of La Roche-sur-Yon and will appear for "damaging and theft."
"This is a desecration of a place of worship," said a member of the parish.
The prosecutor, Hervé Lollic, stated that "the anti-religious motivation is also recognized."
