     The Central News Agency said former Taipei City councillor Lee Cheng-lung and a female accomplice were arrested on the spot on Sunday night on suspicion of attacking the century-old statues with hammers.
     The statues, located at the entrance to Yixian Elementary School in the capital’s Beitou district, are now partially missing their front legs.
