A break-in was carried out at St. Peter’s Church in Filton on July 12, with a raffle cash prize taken. Revd Lizzie Gregory said such crime is rare but fortunately the thieves did not escape with much of value. She said: “The church warden was passing and realised something was not right and noticed that the panel part of a door had been kicked in. The thieves managed to take a cash prize (for a raffle), but nothing else other than some brass brackets (of low value). “We have had problems with youngsters trying to climb on to the roof and throwing stones at the church, and at passing cars. It is not often a church is targeted. It is sad that so much damage has been caused for the sake of £50. If people are in that much need, please just come and talk to us.” In a separate incident, an overnight disturbance locally led to police searching the church grounds, possibly for a knife according to witnesses.
