VANCOUVER — Two rose quartz lion statues that were stolen from Vancouver's Chinatown are now back on guard at a popular tourist destination.

Police say officers recovered the lions and they have been returned to their original spots in front of the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.

The statues were taken sometime between 6 p.m. on Sept. 6 and 8 a.m. the next day.
