DENVER — Artifacts stolen from the Martin Luther King Jr. monument and a second monument in Denver’s City Park have been recovered, according to police and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Colorado Holiday Commission.

A bronze panel that depicted Black Americans who fought in U.S. wars and two decorative emblems that depict an angel stolen from the MLK monument were recovered from a scrap metal yard Friday, the commission told Denver7. Police said the large panel stolen from the “I Have a Dream” monument was cut into four pieces prior to it being sold for scrap.

The MLK monument, which sits in the middle of a roundabout near the City Park Pavilion, was damaged and the pieces stolen between 3:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 18. Police have yet to determine the time of the Thatcher memorial theft.
