The perpetrators obviously did very planned. They violently opened a door in the back of the church to get access to the interiors. In the sanctuary, they found a money fund from which they stole a three -digit sum of money.

It remains to be seen which measures the authorities will take in the future to prevent such incidents.

This incident in Hilgerath is a further evidence of the challenges with which small communities are faced. Those responsible are faced with the task of not only fixing material damage, but also to regain the lost feeling of security of the parishioners.

in the hope of quick investigations and returning to a feeling of security, citizens should remain vigilant and react immediately if it is abnormalities. The community stands together in these difficult times and helps to protect the values and the protection of their facilities.
