The at-large suspects used a hammer and a screwdriver to remove a coin-sized piece of the 5,000-year-old monument. The BBC notes that in the 19th century, such an act wouldn’t be uncommon. From its story: “At one time, chisels would be handed to people visiting Stonehenge, so they could chip away at the ancient monument to get their own souvenirs.”
