Police in St. Paul say someone stole a brass statue of Olympic champion Suni Lee. The bust wasn't the only thing taken — the thieves also took the rock that had the superstar gymnast's nameplate. Lee was back in St. Paul for the statue's unveiling in 2023 and it has sat at Lake Phalen ever since — until now.

A bronze bust of Olympic gymnast Suni Lee at Phalen Regional Park in St. Paul has been stolen, along with a large rock bearing her name that stood near the bust, St. Paul police said Thursday. The sculpture and the rock were taken sometime in the last 24 hours, police said in a social media post.
