The incident took place on 21 August, at around 11 p.m., in a square in the Przylesie housing estate in Lubin. A 40-year-old man destroyed figures of the two main characters from Janusz Christa’s cult comic books – Kajko and Kokosz.

As officers established, the vandal first drank alcohol in a pub and then came to the square. Leaning against both figures with his elbow and entire body, he tore them from their base. The losses were estimated at more than PLN 3,000.

The man was detained on Tuesday, 26 August. He faces up to five years in prison.
