May 17, 2025
|Lancashire Evening Post
The staggering number of crimes recorded at churches and places of worship in Lancashire has been revealed.
According to data obtained by the Countryside Allianace, 583 crimes have been recorded from the start of 2022 until the end of 2024.
And it comes just weeks after obscene graffiti was daubed over nearly 40 gravestones and the Church of St James in Leyland, leaving parishioners heartbroken.
The latest 2022-2024 records from Lancashire Constabulary reveal 267 reported thefts. Of these, 13 thefts were related to lead being removed from church roofs.
