Two Royal Airforce Engineers have pleaded guilty to criminal damage after they cut a Paddington Bear statue in half before stealing it.
Daniel Heath and William Lawrence, both 22, broke up the fiberglass model of the 'beloved' children's book character that was sitting on a bench in Newbury, Berkshire on March 2. Both admitted an offence of criminal damage this morning at Reading Magistrates Court this morning.
The pair were both given a community order by the judge, having to pay £2,275 each to make up for the £5,451 worth of damage caused to the statue. They will also have to complete 150 hours of unpaid work of 12 months.

It's a rather astonishing and shocking story! Stealing and damaging a statue, especially one as iconic as Paddington Bear, seems particularly senseless given the character's symbolic value to many people.
