Huge 8ft gorilla statue stolen from Scots garden centre 'spotted on motorway in England'

An eight foot gorilla statue stolen from a Scots garden centre may have been spotted in England. The sculpture, named Gary, was taken from his home outside Reynard's Nursery near Carluke.

CCTV footage showed brazen crooks unbolting the huge fibreglass mascot before fleeing the scene with it in the back of a van last month. The owners of the garden centre launched an appeal in a bid to have the popular statue returned to the site.

They have now revealed a possible sighting of Gary has been made near Warwick services on the M40 on the back of a black pick-up travelling north. When Gary was stolen it was believed to have been driven from Carluke towards the Glasgow area.
