Nottinghamshire Police said criminal damage to the statue was "completely unacceptable", adding officers were investigating and urged anyone with any information to contact the force.The statue, sculpted by Neale Andrew, was installed outside the village library as part of a regeneration project of the High Street in 1998.
"There's hardly a day that goes by where I don't see somebody taking a photograph next to the statue."Peck said they learned the statue had been damaged with both Robin Hood and Marian "losing part of their arms, including their hands", and a piece left on the ground on the morning of 1 November.
