Stolen statues returned to Riverfront Park

LITTLE ROCK — Little Rock authorities say three stolen sculptures worth nearly $30,000 have been returned.

The city's Parks and Recreation director said a couple found the artwork Sunday morning at the Riverfront Park sculpture garden where they were stolen. He said the couple found the artwork inside black garbage bags.

The bronze statues were sawed off at their bases and taken Thursday night. They will be fully repaired and placed back into the garden.

Little Rock Police is reviewing security footage to see who returned the art.

Officials plan to increase the number of surveillance cameras in the park and add more lighting.
