  • Theft of bronze statue at Surrey church

A religious community in Surrey is feeling at a loss after thieves have gotten their hands on a prized possession. Police have released video footage hoping somebody can help them get the statue back to its rightful owner. 

Two suspects stole a bronze statue of St. Andrew Kim which was located on church property in the Guildford area of Surrey at about 102Ave and 161St. 

In the video, the suspect uses a dolly to transport the statue and load it into a camper van. 

The statue is described as two metres tall and depicts St. Andrew Kim. According to police, it is difficult to make out a suspect description based on the current evidence.

The investigation is ongoing and police are actively working to identify the suspects.
