'Famous' figurines stolen

Two minature statues which are part of an art project raising awareness of London's refugees have gone missing. Find out why they were created, in this interview with artist Marcus Crocker, and Hugo Tristram from the British Red Cross.

Marcus Crocker is the man behind the miniature famous refugees that have been placed around the capital. The 23-year-old artist specialises in creating sculptures that convey a message, to be left on the street.

This time he's turned his creative hand to supporting the British Red Cross with Refugee Week.

A hoard of famous refugees have descended on London to highlight Refugee Week. Well, mini versions of them have. The creations, made by street artist Marcus Crocker, have been distributed around the capital.

The project by the British Red Cross aims to draw attention to those who were celebrated in their own fields and fled persecution to find sanctuary in Britain.

The other figure that's gone missing is of Sir John Houblon, the first governor of the Bank of England. He was the grandson of a Huguenot refugee.

Freddie Mercury is one of two famous refugees to disappear from our streets. The miniature figurines have been stolen after they were positioned on streets around the capital to mark Refugee Week. The iconic Queen frontman fled the Zanzibar revolution with his family in 1964.

Figurines of famous refugees, including Freddie Mercury, have been stolen from London's streets. Hand crafted by Marcus Crocker, the series of miniatures has been dotted around the capital to mark Refugee Week.

They were due to remain until Sunday, but there are reports some have already been stolen.
