Virgin Mary Statue Vandalized In South Boston

BOSTON (CBS) – The head and hands of a Virgin Mary statue in South Boston were vandalized recently.

Police are searching for the person who vandalized the statue, which has been a part of the neighborhood for over 30 years.

The statue is located on Old Colony Ave.

Though the statue is placed behind the St. Monica-St. Augustine Catholic Church, it is privately owned by a family.

The family glued the statue's head and hands back into place.

Police in the Greater Boston area have responded to several reports of vandalized religious statues in recent months.
