Deputies said the group was captured on video entering a courtyard and walking toward a water fountain. As the men walked past the statue, they pushed it over, causing the head and arms to break, said deputies.

The video bulletin led deputies to identify the trio. They were arrested on Monday night.

The statue will cost $3,500 to replace, deputies said.
