Theft of Pickering 'Shepherd Boy' Statue Under Investigation

Thursday, 10 April 2025 16:53

Police are appealing for information about the theft of a statue in an outbuilding burglary in Pickering.

It happened between December 2024 and 4 March 2025 when the incident was first reported to the police.

The stolen statue, which was created by the sculptor, John Nost, dates back to the late 17th Century and is described as the ‘Shepherd Boy’.

John Nost was a Flemish sculptor who worked in England in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He received many commissions, including at Hampton Court Palace, Melbourne Hall, Castle Howard, Buckingham Palace, and Chatsworth.

Officers say:

"Please email John-Simon.Coleman@Northyorkshire.police.uk if you have any information that could help our investigation.

Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101, option 2, and ask for John-Simon Coleman, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their website.

Please quote reference 12250058357 when passing on information"
