Baby Jesus snatchers strike again
Stolen twice in as many years
Mary and Joseph 'stare' at the vacant manger after the image of Baby Jesus was stolen from a roadside crib on Manwel Dimech Bridge for the second time in as many years.
A spokesman for Environmental Landscape Consortium, which put up the crib, said that it was during a routine inspection on Sunday that the loss was noted.
The inspections started after last year's incidents when a Bambin in Floriana and a statue of Mary on Manwel Dimech Bridge disappeared a few days before Christmas. They were not recovered.
