The Regional Court in Chełmnie convicted two defendants of public vandalism and ordered the principal offender to serve 10 months of community service. The court found the defendants guilty of damaging church windows with stones and frisbees, causing 5,000 PLN in losses, and noted their public disregard for legal order. Although the defendants were minors, the court applied the minimum statutory sentence for the offense, emphasizing the educational purpose of community service over imprisonment.
