Segnalazione furti nelle chiese e truffe digitali

In brief

The Diocese of Bergamo is warning pastoral communities to increase security following a rise in thefts from churches.

Church officials noted that thieves are specifically targeting silverware. To protect these assets, the diocese advises priests and staff to activate alarms whenever possible. The diocese also recommends coordinating with curia offices to schedule the installation of new alarm systems for those without them.

The diocese requested that anyone who experiences a theft or an attempted theft report the incident immediately. In addition to physical thefts, the diocese is also reporting on digital scams.
