A 1.2 metre tall metal sculpture of Yoda has been stolen from a Madras Street, Khandallah property on Tuesday night.

The sculpture, made from steel, took the creator hundreds of hours to craft.

Police said the sculpture would not have a high scrap metal value, and the theft has left the owner understandably upset.

If you have any information that may be useful to police, contact them online or call 105.
