Haverhill, Ma. – Police in Haverhill, Massachusetts, are asking the public to help solve a bizarre theft.
Authorities say a priest at Sacred Hearts Church, north of Boston, called them Christmas morning to report that someone had stolen a baby Jesus from a nativity scene and replaced it with a real pig’s head.
CBS Boston shared pictures of the nativity scene featuring a plastic-wrapped pig’s head where the baby Jesus should be.
Sacred Hearts Parish was founded in 1908 and serves 3,000 families of the Merrimack Valley.
CBS Boston reports that a woman has since donated a replacement baby Jesus to the church.
Police are still investigating.
CNN contributed to this report.
