Three arrested in plastic horse theft

WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (UPI) -- A 250-pound horse statue has been returned to a West Hempstead, N.Y., stable after it was stolen early Sunday.

Nassau County police said they arrested Cody Warren, 23, Zachary Schaefer, 24, and Barry Heath, 24, on suspicion of driving off with the plastic mascot, nicknamed "Stu," the New York Post reported Tuesday.

A state trooper made note of the horse when he pulled over the car containing the three men. The trooper was unaware the statue was stolen property until the troopers heard an alert and alerted Nassau County police.

"Stu is our mascot," instructor Taylor Rubin said. "What's the purpose of stealing a plastic horse?"
