Dresden - bronze statues stolen from cemeteries

Hello,

 

Several bronze statues have been stolen from cemeteries in Dresden, several from graves or memorials of soldiers of WWI. The last "stunt" involved taking the 100kg bronze statue which was on the urn grave of Max Immelmann, "the Eagle of Lille". Luckily, tthe thieves were caught red-handed. Let's hope the thefts stop now. Apparently, the police thinks the thieves were specifically after bronze statues with a military connection (to add these to a private collection?).
