Suspect was seen on fuzzy security photo running between benches of church carrying skull, police say

Czech police are hunting a thief who snatched the 800-year-old skull of a saint from a display box in a church and ran away with the relic.

A fuzzy security camera photo released late on Tuesday appeared to show a figure dressed in black carrying what police said was the skull of Saint Zdislava of Lemberk.
