Bouches-du-Rhône Church Hit with Vandalism
On the 23rd January, Deputy Mayor Marcel Galli discovered that the Sainte Marie Madeleine de Plan-de-Cuques church (of the Marseille diocese) had been smeared with tar on three facades, with many circles painted on the walls, and large lines were drawn on the ground. The large wooden doors of the entrance to the church and the sacristy, the surface of the front porch, and entrance hall were also damaged by tar.
The church building and the steeple have been surrounded with scaffolding for several months for exterior renovation, which is almost complete.
There are several video surveillance cameras and the National Police went on site to investigate.
