Paddington Bear statue stolen in England, judge redirect thieves as “antithesis” of a beloved character star-news.press/wp
Two drunk men were sentenced to the service in the community and ordered that they pay a nurturing finage after drinking to half and theft by the Statue Paddington Bear in England.
The judge criticized Daniel Heath and William Lawrence, Tuesday, on Tuesday for his roles in the impairment of the beloved statue of a fictional bear as he sat on his pedestation of the public bench in Newbury.
“Paddington Bear is a loved cultural icon with children and adults,” Judge I was Goazee. “He represents kindness, tolerance and promotes integration and acceptance in our society. … Your actions were the antithesis of everything by Paddington.”
The couple pleaded guilty of one criminal damage in court for reading the Court of Reading. Thames Valley Police said in the release.
Heath and Lawrence are convicted in the year of the community service and ordered to pay £ 2.725 ($ 3,527) each to cover repair costs.
The supervisory recordings published by the police show that men struggle to separate the statue before carrying it. Later, they took the taxi statue back to the Royal Air Force Odiham, where they both work as engineers, the police said.
The neighborhood police team in Newbury followed them in the air force base later that day, where they were arrested.
“After a short stay at Newbury Police Station, we provided the Statute to your owners, so it can be renovated,” said Inspector Alan Hawkett from the police team in the neighborhood of Newbury.
The statue showing Paddington in his classic blue coat and a red hat, looking at the sky while he holds a sandwich from Marmalade, was one of the 23s installed last fall as part of the latest beloved bear “Paddington in Peru.”
