According to Bridle, the statue was stolen in the early hours of the morning on 7 February.
He said the statue was made by the late Rhona Gorvy, who was commissioned by the original owner of the Moyo brand.
“The statue was [part of three sculptures], and the family of the late artist made a plaque last year in honour of her. It [plaque] was mounted onto one of the sculpture’s and that is the one that was stolen. We are very disappointed that the statue has disappeared, it was not only important to us but also to the people using the park,” said Bridle.
