Churches receive chilling threats

AT least two catholic churches in the area have received threatening letters in the last week and the incidents have been linked to a larger investigation.

St Mary’s Catholic Church in High Green and St Thomas Moore in Parson Cross, also a catholic church, both received similar letters.

Father Brown of St Mary’s received a letter which read:

Stop all your services straight away if you don’t your church will be petrol bombed while in service. Continue behind closed doors your congregation members will be stabbed one by one. Blood on your hands (You’ve been warned).

West Midlands Police are tackling the investigation. In a statement, the force said today:

West Midlands Police is investigating after several threatening letters have been sent to mainly churches and supermarkets across the region and officers are aware of a few sent further afield over a period of months.”
