Suspect in Long Beach church theft released due to medical condition

LONG BEACH - The suspect in the theft of a relic from St. Anthony Church was released due to an unknown medical condition, police said Friday.

Police recovered the relic of St. Anthony of Padua at the home of Maria Solis, 41, who was arrested on suspicion of commercial burglary, Long Beach Deputy Police Chief Robert Luna said Thursday.

Her release was announced in a statement from police on Friday. Detectives plan to present the case to the district attorney's office for charges next week, the statement said.

Parishioners at St. Anthony Church in Long Beach had prayed fervently after their 780-year-old relic was stolen. When it was returned, they thanked God and the police for bringing their little piece of St. Anthony back home.

"St. Anthony is the patron saint of travelers and lost things but today he's also the honorary saint of the Long Beach Police Department," said the pastor, the Rev. Jose Magana.
