The artists who created a life-sized bronze bear statue say they are 'shocked and heartbroken' after learning it had been stolen from a Melbourne inner-north shopping centre last week.
Police are investigating the theft of a bronze bear statue , called Sparkly Bear , from a shopping centre in Melbourne's inner-north last week.
Police have been investigating the theft of the statue, known as 'Sparkly Bear', after it was removed from Barkly Square in Brunswick in the early hours of Wednesday, September 11. Police say the offenders reversed a truck into a laneway on Sydney Road near Barkly Square about 4am. "This piece was created with the intention of bringing joy and a sense of connection to the community, and to see it taken in such a way is devastating," they said in a statement.
