Thieves break into church and throw safe from balcony to break it open

A church in Coseley in Dudley has been targeted by thieves. Christ Church was broken into on Sunday night with vandals throwing the safe from the balcony to break it open.

On a post shared by the church on social media Reverend Emma Stanford said she was "heartbroken" that people had done this to her "beloved church".

Members of the community have rallied around in support of the church and the Reverend has said that they "forgive" the vandals.
