Church Break-in with a Chainsaw in Hamm
Individual gains entry to church utilizing a chain saw.
Got the lowdown on a weird church break-in in Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia. What's up with that?
So, here's what happened – some mystery man slipped into a city-center church with a chainsaw in broad daylight. Police say he hacked through a side door, leaving a pretty good amount of damage. A 69-year-old lady entered the church through a different entrance and noticed the busted-up door, alerting the fuzz.
According to the cops, the suspected chainsaw-wielding intruder took off running towards the street across the church grounds after the witness popped in. An acquaintance of the woman claimed they saw a dude with a chainsaw dart past 'em. Initial inspections didn't show anything missing from the church.
The dude was dressed like a lumberjack, donning forestry worker clothes and an orange safety helmet with a visor. Since the incident occurred on Tuesday, the investigation's been a blind alley so far. The homicide squad's on the case.
If you're curious about Hamm, it's known for hosting heavyweight legal hearings – for example, Saúl Luciano Lliuya's lawsuit against energy major RWE's currently underway at the Higher Regional Court in Hamm[5]. Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, a notable figure, served as State Commissioner for the Fight against Anti-Semitism in North Rhine-Westphalia, but there's no direct link to this particular break-in.
