Since April 29, the copper gutters of a dozen Gironde churches have been stolen. Three individuals were arrested in flagrante delicto on Thursday, while they were raging on the chapel of Jugazan.
Without gutter, each episode of rain represents a danger for the eighteenth-century paintings that adorn the nave. For the little copper stolen, which he estimates the sale at 500 euros on the black market, 10,000 euros of renovation work are to be expected.
