Queen Victoria monument doused in paint after vandals hack off Captain Cook statue
Statues of Captain James Cook and Queen Victoria have been defaced overnight, with one statue sliced off its plinth and the other splashed with red paint.
The metal sculpture on Jacka Boulevard in St Kilda was sawn off at the ankles about 3.30am Thursday, with vandals also spray-painting “the colony will fall” on the statue’s granite plinth.
