A bronze sculpture valued at £60,000 was stolen from a famous artist’s home in Saffron Walden, prompting an investigation by Essex Police
Saffron Walden: So, there’s been a bit of a ruckus in Arkesden. Essex Police are on the case after a bronze sculpture went missing from a well-known artist’s home.
This happened overnight between December 5 and 6, 2024. The sculpture, created by Anne Curry, is not just any piece; it’s signed by her and worth a pretty penny—around £20,000 to make and about £60,000 if sold.
Right now, no one has been arrested, but the police are following up on some leads. PC Glenn Simons, who’s looking into this, mentioned how much this theft has affected the artist.
He’s asking anyone who saw anything odd in the Arkesden area during that time to step forward. If you’ve got any info, you can report it online or through their Live Chat, which is open all the time.
