Two people have been charged with stealing a statue of a fairy from Prescot’s Shakespeare North Playhouse.
Steven Larkin and Catherine Taylor are alleged to have taken the statue from outside the theatre, which was only recently completed, on the evening of August 26. Police later arrested Larkin, 45 of Chapel Road in Anfield, and Taylor, 48 of Primrose Drive in Huyton, and they were charged with theft.
According to court documents, the statue they stole depicted a fairy and was made of pewter, having an estimated value of £2,275.
