A par of alleged thieves have been caught on CCTV stealing a statue of Jesus from a chapel in Auckland.
A man is seen carrying the statue in broad daylight out of the Carmelite Monastery in Royal Oak.
The statue is called the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and had been with the chapel since 940.
A Little Infant of Prague statue was also taken.
A Facebook post on behalf of the chapel asked people to share the photos of the alleged robbers, who carried out the theft on Friday between 6:49am and 7am.
"Sadly during this time our chapel was empty and we were about to begin our Morning Prayer. The police have been notified," the post said.
Police confirmed they were investigating the theft.
