Police are on their way to Drøbak Church after a break-in occurred at a vehicle during a child’s baptism ceremony. The incident took place while the baptism was underway and church attendees were present for the religious event. Authorities received notification of the theft and responded promptly.

Ronny Mangseth, operations leader with the Øst Police District, confirmed that among the stolen items was a baptism gift that had been left inside the car. The police report regarding this incident was officially registered at 12:33.

The timing of the break-in has drawn notice because it happened during a family-oriented religious occasion in Drøbak, a town located along Norway’s coast. At this time, law enforcement has not released any information about possible suspects or whether additional items were taken from the vehicle. The Øst Police District is handling the investigation and continues to look into the circumstances surrounding the theft. No further details about the vehicle, its owner, or the specific nature of the stolen baptism gift have been disclosed by officials. The police are asking anyone with relevant information to come forward as they work to determine how the break-in occurred and who may be responsible.
