Handwritten terror threats warning of petrol bomb attacks and mass stabbings have been sent to 15 UK churches in just two months. One chilling letter demanded a Sheffield church “stop all your services straight away” or face a petrol bomb attack during a service.
“Continue behind closed doors and your congregation members will be stabbed one by one. Blood on your hands. You have been warned,” the letter warned.
Churches on High Alert
The threatening letters, some bearing a West Midlands postmark, have rattled faith communities across the country. Despite the threats, services at the Sheffield church are still going ahead — but police have stepped up security and officers are now guarding the affected churches.
Schools Pull Pupils From Services
After receiving a letter, a local faith school withdrew its pupils from services at the Sheffield church, showing just how serious the threats are being taken.
Police Launch Full Investigation
A formal police probe has been launched as officers hunt the person or group behind these sinister handwritten notes. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
