WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The troll is back in Wichita.
A 200-pound bronze sculpture of a troll was returned to its lair under a grate near the Keeper of the Plains statue on Friday. The popular statue was removed in October after vandals sawed off its arm and stole a necklace.
Artist Connie Ernatt, who created the sculpture, has fixed it with a super reinforced arm and a new necklace. She and city officials say they were surprised by the public concern since the troll was taken out of the enclosure.
The Wichita Eagle reports (https://bit.ly/1iZW505 ) after the troll returned Friday, city workers sealed all the entry points vandals used to break into the enclosure, including 5-foot bolts to keep the gate in place.
The troll was first installed in 2007.
