A life-size bronze statue of first lady Melania Trump in her native Slovenia has gone missing after someone apparently hacked it off at the ankles and took it away.
Police spokeswoman Alenka Drenik Rangus said on Friday that they were notified about the theft on Tuesday and had been working to identify who was responsible.
The original statue was made of wood and appeared in July 2019 but was destroyed in July 2020 when it was set ablaze in an apparent protest against Trump.
The Associated Press cited Slovenian news reports that said the statue had been sawed off at the ankles. Photographs appeared to show the stumps left over from the incident.
