At 11:45 on January 28, the window grille was removed from the St. Peter's church in Görlitz and the window behind it smashed. The intruder then entered the crypt of the church and from there, stole two music boxes and a microphone. A small wooden organ was also significantly damaged in the process and the value of stolen goods amounted to around 1000 euros.
