CCTV records person climbing building to dislodge effigy
£3,000 damage has bene caused to a statue at Exeter Cathedral after it was dislodged from its niche on the outside of the building.
The effigy is one of a group of statues installed in 1920 to commemorate the friendship of the European allies during the Great War.
It's thought the vandalism took place around 11pm on Saturday, the day England played Sweden in the World Cup.
Specialist members of the Cathedral’s conservation team are now examining the damage to the statue to establish how best to proceed with repairs and reinstatement, which are expected to cost well over £3,000.
Members of the public are being asked to contact Devon and Cornwall Police on 101 with any information, quoting crime reference number CR/061244/18.
