Minnesota: Statue stolen in North Mankato

From Mankato Free Press: Statue stolen in North Mankato

NORTH MANKATO — A statue on the CityArt Walking Sculpture Tour was stolen from North Mankato sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning.

Police say they discovered the sculpture, “The Farmer’s Wife,” missing early Saturday morning. It was in the 200 block of Belgrade Avenue.

The sculpture, valued at $6,000, was broken off at the base.

A reward of up to $2,200 is being offered for information leading to a conviction. The reward is offered by North Mankato, Mankato and area businesses. (Call 625-4141 for the North Mankato police.)

Two other statues in the art walk have been vandalized since being erected last spring — one in Mankato and one in North Mankato.
