A Plymouth man has been arrested after a wooden lectern was sawn off and taken from a Devon church.

The hand-carved eagle-shaped lectern went missing from St Paul's Church in Yelverton in May.

It was recovered a few days later following an anonymous phone call about its whereabouts.

Police say the 48-year-old was arrested on suspicion of theft and criminal damage - he's been released on bail whilst enquiries continue.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
