Pirate statue stolen from landmark Fort Pierce bar

By Will Greenlee

The owner of Archie's Seabreeze told police on Monday that someone absconded with a "life-size" ceramic pirate statue that she'd placed in the area of the bar, according to a report.

The owner of the landmark watering hole, in the 400 block of South Ocean Drive, told police she bought three of the 150-pound pirate statues, one of which was noticed missing on Aug. 31.

The statue, of a pirate clad in a white-and-blue-striped shirt and black pants, was last seen two days prior.

The 65-year-old owner said she put up posters offering a reward, but when no one returned the statue, which was bolted into the concrete, she called police.

The statue is further described as sporting a brown vest and brown boots and holding a sword. The pirate also has a long black hair and a beard.
