É a última série de ataques a pontos turísticos em Blackpool por pessoas que buscam metal.
A escultura do artista Sir Peter Blake, que projetou o Beatles "Sargent Pepper's, foi danificado depois que parte do metal foi rasgado.
A estátua estava no passeio marítimo da cidade, e seus restos estão agora armazenados.
A obra de arte chamada "Life as a Circus" foi encomendado pelo Conselho de Blackpool como parte de uma série de obras para o passeio.
Possui uma variedade ações de circo fundida em bronze em pé em cima uns dos outros, e celebra a grande tradição do entretenimento do resort.
O conselho verá fotos antigas e desenhos originais de quando foi contratado para ver se Sir Peter poderia fazer peças de reposição adequadas.
Um segundo trabalho de Sir Peter Blake em Blackpool é um cavalo pulando um portão enquanto quatro pessoas se equilíbram em cima dos ombros uns dos outros. Este também foi movido para o armazenamento seguro.
Os danos à estátua de Blake seguem o roubo de três estátuas em Stanley Park, em julho, enquanto o chumbo foi despojado dos telhados das propriedades no resort que é atração da vila modelo.
It is the latest in a series of attacks on tourist attractions in Blackpool thought to be by people seeking metal.
The sculpture by artist Sir Peter Blake, who designed the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper sleeve, was damaged after part of it was ripped apart.

The artwork called "Life as a Circus" was commissioned by Blackpool Council as part of a series of works for the promenade.
It features a variety of circus acts cast in bronze standing on top of each other, and celebrates the great entertainment tradition of the resort.
The council will be looking at old photos and original drawings from when it was commissioned to see whether Sir Peter could make suitable replacement pieces.
A second Sir Peter Blake work in Blackpool is of a horse jumping over a gate while four people balance on top of each other's shoulders. This has also been moved into secure storage.
The damage to the Blake statue follows the theft of three statues in Stanley Park in July, while lead was stripped from the roofs of properties in the resort's model village attraction.
