Surveillance camera footage shows a man pulling the cross out of the ground and carrying it as he walks towards Chemin Chambly.
The wooden cross, mounted on a metal base, was placed at the intersection of Curé-Poirier Boulevard and Jean-Bélieveau Street following the death of a 17-year-old girl in 2013.
The girl was one of two pedestrians struck by a vehicle at the intersection.
While police admit the cross has little resale value, to the victim’s family, the cross is invaluable.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact Longueuil police at 450-463-7211.
