Baby Jesus is back in his manger after he was stolen from a Nativity scene in Jeannette. 

The City of Jeannette Police Department posted to social media on Wednesday afternoon, asking the public for their help in identifying three people who are accused of stealing a Baby Jesus figure from a display at the amphitheater.

Cherie King is one of the many in town who helped paint and place the display. 

"Oh my gosh, I was devastated, because it was something that we all worked so hard on and it was such a disappointment," she said. 

Jeannette is a small town, so instantly, people started noticing who these people might be. The thought: high school kids pulling a prank. Calls went out, not to the police, but parents, and a short time later, Jesus reappeared.

"Well, I had some tips from people in the area, and they have high school children, and so the word got out, and I think maybe one of the parents said, 'you better get Baby Jesus back there,'" King said. 

It's believed the alleged thieves snuck up a ramp behind the amphitheater and slid the statue under a tree, where he was later found and replaced. 

It's not the only Christmas-related crime under investigation in Westmoreland County. In Latrobe, police are asking the public for help identifying a person accused of stealing a Christmas tree from a family's front porch. 

Video of that incident shows a man walking onto the front porch of a home along Spring Street around 2:30 a.m., unplugging the tree and walking off with it. Police haven't shared any updates about that case, but anyone with information is asked to call 724-537-5526.
