A thief who caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral when he smashed statues, stole money and urinated on the floor has been jailed following his hearing at Liverpool Crown Court.
Christopher McGlynn, aged 44, caused approximately £30,000 worth of damage, including the smashing of two valuable vases, when he ransacked the cathedral last month.
Chris Hopkins, prosecuting, told the court: “ were smashed and around them was an amount of change on the floor. It is estimated there would only have been around £40 in the two glass vessels because they were emptied earlier in the day.
