France: More than 200 Christian graves vandalised in Houdain cemetery (VIDEO)

On the graves you can see the traces of the stolen Christ figures. Very often only the cross is left. On the stelae you can see some nails, a sign that there was a metal rose or plate there. On Friday morning, the families whose graves were looted in this way are shocked. “We are outraged, we are angry. To do something like this in a cemetery, you really have to be totally deluded,” some lamented. “This is unthinkable, this is deplorable,” said others. The crimes occurred on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday last week.More than 200 graves were vandalised. The perpetrators knew a lot about metals: They had pliers and tools with them. Some metal parts were found in the passageways, by the way. For the mayor of the municipality, this is a new occurrence. The police have of course launched an investigation, but at this stage there are very few clues. On Saturday, the Houdain Municipality will be exceptionally open all day so that families can come and report the thefts found.
