It was installed at Phalen Lakeside Activity Center in St. Paul in 2023, after she made history with her win at the 2020 Olympic Games.
“The brass statue, along with the rock with her nameplate on it, were taken within the last day,” police wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday. “We are actively working to find the statute.”
It would have been difficult to steal and likely required tools, said Alyssa Arcand, a St. Paul police spokeswoman.
“Apparently it had two steel rods connecting it, so it would have taken awhile to get it out,” she said.
Police are asking anyone with information to email SPPD-eastinvestigations@stpaul.gov.
