As reported earlier, thieves struck in Gholfsig, Dennesig, and Kanonkop between just before midnight and shortly after 04:00.

It seems that two groups were operating: one using a white vehicle in Gholfsig, and another fleeing in a silver vehicle in Kanonkop, Dennesig, and Eastdene, including the church theft.
