OTTAWA – Although their motive and role remain unclear, a few teenagers spotted in the middle of the night leaving the crime scene as the likely suspects could not have chosen a more precious Ukrainian Catholic monument to vandalize last month.
On the morning of May 21, the bronze statue of St. Volodymyr the Great located adjacent to the Ukrainian Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Ss. Vladimir and Olga in Winnipeg’s North End was found headless and missing the cross held in the figure’s hand.
