An 8ft gorilla is roaming the area after thieves stole the much-loved statue from Reynard Nursery in Carluke, Lanarkshire on Monday evening.
The incident was caught on CCTV as the statue, named Gary, was unbolted from the ground and placed in a white van which sped from the scene around midnight on Monday, March 20.
Owner Andrew Scott, 56, has been left baffled by the sudden disappearance of the 8ft statue, reports Daily Record.
