MONT-ST-GREGOIRE, Que. — Quebec provincial police say they have no suspects in the theft of a statue of Saint Brother Andre from his birthplace outside Montreal.
Spokeswoman Joyce Kemp says the statue of the religious figure was reported missing on Sunday in Mont St-Gregoire, where he was born Alfred Bessette in 1845.
Kemp says it was likely stolen a few days earlier from the town, which is about 45 kilometres southeast of Montreal.
Saint Brother Andre died at the age of 91 on Jan. 6, 1937.
