The return of a Baby Jesus, stolen from a Nativity scene, is being requested by a Roslyn Harbor church, Nassau County police said Friday.

The figure was probably taken from in front of St. Mary's Church, at 110 Bryant Ave., between 7 p.m. Thursday and 7 a.m. Friday, police said.

The theft is classified as a larceny, police said, but church officials are "only requesting the safe return of Jesus."

Sixth Precinct detectives ask anyone with information to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 800-244-TIPS.
