Callous thieves have made off with an eight feet tall bronze statue of Jesus from a church on the Cavehill Road in north Belfast.
The statue was stolen from inside the Church of the Resurrection some time over the last few weeks.
Large bronze doors were also taken off the hinges and cut up.
The doors were worth around £40,000 and were commissioned especially for the church. They have been irreparably damaged, police say.
If anyone has any information in relation to the missing statue, please contact police on 101 quoting serial 1318 of 01/03/19.
