A statue from one of Britain's most important sculptors was stolen from its display in a public park in London.
Police believe that it is likely the theft is related to a string of growing car, cable and metal thefts in the city as prices for the metals has grown greatly recently. The bronze statue was insured at 500,000 pounds, far more than the price the piece would get for the scrapped bronze...
Barbara Hepworth is considered one of Britain's most important modern sculptors.
