2,000 year-old bone robbed from church

A silver box containing a 2,000-year-old bone from St Andrew has been stolen from a Greek Orthodox church in Massachusetts.

The Rev Demetrios Costarakis said the relic was priceless and called the theft "heartbreaking".

The relic was passed down through many generations until the church acquired it about six years ago.
