A police appeal for information has been launched after a large bronze statue was stolen from a trade stand at Badminton Horse Trials in South Gloucestershire overnight.
The figure is believed to have a value of £19,000 and was made by Somerset artist Jan Sweeny. It is positioned on a hamstone base and measures 135cm in height.
PC Matt Leigh said: “Being bronze, the statue weighs a considerable amount and so it’s likely more than one person was involved in removing it from the trade stand it was on display at.
