Bronze statue theft in Welwyn Garden City

  • Police are appealing for the public’s help after the statue was taken from the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Handside Lane, some time between May 15 and yesterday (Tuesday).
    The burglars have entered the rear garden of the premises and removed the statue, leaving the plinth behind.
    Roy Murray, investigating officer, said: “This statue would have been very heavy and may have taken some time to remove.
    “The offenders would have also needed a vehicle to take it away.
    “We are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and noticed anything suspicious to contact us on the non emergency number 101”
