The incident happened at the Subiaco Abbey Church in Arkansas, part of a Benedictine monastery and an all-male, college-prep school. According to Subiaco Abbey, the man was interrupted after he removed the veil from the church's tabernacle. The Logan County Sheriff's Office noted that the other missing relic box was later obtained and returned to Subiaco Abbey.
