Saint statue stolen for a second time
A bronze statue of St Michael the Archangel that had previously been taken 19 years ago has been stolen again from its place at the top of a war memorial in the churchyard of St John the Baptist Church in Eversholt, Bedfordshire.
When it was stolen in 2000, it was later returned by a London antiques dealer who had discovered it in Islington. This time the 3ft (91cm) statue was taken on the night of Monday, June 17.
