Three people have been arrested in connection with a series of church burglaries across Jutland and Funen, Denmark. Two 37-year-old men from Kolding and a 35-year-old woman from Fredericia are suspected of stealing designer furniture—mainly chairs—from at least 23 churches. One man and the woman are charged with all 23 burglaries, while the other man faces charges in six. Additionally, a 36-year-old woman has been charged with purchasing the stolen items.

The investigation began after a citizen reported concerns about possibly counterfeit goods. This tip led police to conduct searches at several addresses in Kolding and Fredericia, where numerous stolen church items were recovered. Authorities believe more suspects may be involved and are investigating possible fraud charges.
Police have not specified the exact type of chairs stolen. The suspects are set to appear in court in Kolding for a constitutional hearing on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.
