Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a man drops and shatters a golden Jesus Christ statue after allegedly stealing it.

It is believed to have been stolen from a nearby 15th-century Shrine of Divine Mercy church in the Old Town of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. In the CCTV footage, the two men, suspected to be “drunk British tourists”, are seen laughing as one man approaches the other with the statue.
