Shevchenko statue stolen in Toronto

In the Canadian city of Toronto, a statue of Ukrainian poet and painter Taras Shevchenko was stolen from its foundation in Shevchenko Park during the night.
The statue had been in the park since 1951 and was a gift to the Ukrainian diaspora from the Soviet Union. Police are currently investigating into the crime. They think the wrongdoers may have stolen the bronze statue in order to sell the costly metal. At present police haven’t named any suspects and have not been able to locate witnesses to the crime
