  • 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.

A theft of this nature goes beyond the monetary value, the statue has sentimental significance to the St Andrew Kim Parish, says Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer, Cst. Sarbjit K. Sangha Investigators are actively working to locate the statue so that it can be returned to the Parish. If anyone recognizes the suspects, suspect vehicle or knows that whereabouts of the statue, we encourage you to contact police.
