Copper plate stolen from a chapel in Strängnäs.

Sometime during the night between March 3 and 4, someone or several people have stolen approximately 200 square meters of copper sheeting from St. Peter's chapel in Strängnäs. A crime scene investigation has been conducted and some traces have been secured. The police are interested in observations from the public to move forward with the case.

The value of the stolen goods is also significant, with a kilo price of 80-90 kronor.
