Statue Stolen From Port Richmond Church

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A statue that normally stands outside of a church in Port Richmond vanished overnight.

The statue of a small child sitting at the feet of Jesus was stolen from Mother of Divine Grace church on Monmouth and Thompson streets.

A woman from the church says the statue normally sits behind a rod iron fence so taking the statue would require a great deal of effort.

She says the statue had been donated by a family of the parish in honor of their mom and dad.

Members of the church are asking people be on the lookout for the statue.
