Baby Jesus went missing from his manger on Regional Road, St Julians, barely a week after his birth, but his replacement was back in the crib yesterday morning, soon after the theft was discovered.

The Baby Jesus statuette had been stolen from the same place last year and the year before.

These cribs and other Christmas decorations on roundabouts are placed by the Environment Landscape Consortium.
