Two men in England have been sentenced to 12 months in prison for stealing a Henry Moore sculpture valued at up to £500,000 from a house in Hertfordshire.
Liam Hughes, 22, and Jason Parker, 19, admitted stealing the sun-dial sculpture and a bronze plinth.
The sculpture was stolen from the grounds of the Henry Moore Foundation, in southern England, in July. It was sold as scrap metal for £46 and the plinth for £182.60.
The bronze work was created by Moore in 1965 as a working model for a larger sculpture. The BBC reports it was found after an appeal for information on the television programme Crimewatch and the scrap merchant notified the police.
