In the city of Södertälje, Sweden, an Armenian church has been robbed and vandalized. Swedish media report that valuable items, both financially and spiritually significant, were stolen from the Holy Mary Armenian Apostolic Church. The police are currently investigating the incident.

It is noted that the exact time of the break-in is unclear, but the event occurred on Wednesday night or early morning.
