A statue of Jesus stolen from a French church
The statue was carved in the seventeenth century and was classified as a historical monument in the twentieth century.
A gilded wooden statue of Christ, made in the seventeenth century, was stolen between the 3rd and the 10th of April from a church in the centre of Sanit-Nazare, France. The parish filed a complaint with the authorities on the 27th of April. As there were no visible traces of a forced entry, the police suspect that the theft took place when the church was open.
The statue is 30cm tall, and it was classified as a historical monument in 1949. There are three other statues from the seventeenth century at the altar, representing Saint Peter, Paul and Nazaire.
