THE"iconic" Gorbals Boys sculptures which were cut and stolen from their Glasgow home have been found.
Police confirmed they were probing the incident, as the First Minister spoke out about the impact of the theft on the community in her constituency. Now, just one day after they were first reported missing, they have been recovered, The National has been told.
