MIAMI, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Police in Florida are seeking a suspect wanted for stealing a statue depicting a nude Donald Trump from a local neighborhood.

Police said a 2013 gray Ford F-150 truck registered to 36-year-old Pedro Alejandro Rodriguez was spotted carrying the statue away from the roof of the Harold Golen Gallery in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood, according to CBS Miami.

Witness Angel Pino told WSVN he saw a group of men loading the statue into a truck and managed to get a picture of the license plate after yelling at them to stop.

"He just pulled it and ran, so I just ran after him and said 'Stop! Stop!' And then he just jumped, went in the truck and left, but before he left I took that snap picture. It was perfect," Pino said.

The $50,000 statue was one of several created by anonymous collective INDECLINE and placed in major cities including New York, Cleveland, Seattle and San Francisco.

It had previously been placed on top of an event space, but was later moved to the Harold Golen Gallery as it distracted drivers on I-95.
