Nearly two years after the heron sculpted by Emma Jane Rushworth was stolen from Cobh it has been returned thanks to an anonymous tip-off.

Nearly two years on from the crime, a stolen heron sculpture has been returned to the Cork harbour town of Cobh.

Hendrick Verwey was one local who had given up on it ever happening.
