Police have hunted down a velociraptor that was stolen from outside a South Dakota arts and science centre.
Sioux Falls Police Sergeant Aaron Benson said that a security officer spotted three people carrying the statue away from the Washington Pavilion and called police just after midnight.
Surveillance video then helped officers track the statue to a nearby apartment, the Argus Leader reports.
“When opening the door, detectives could clearly see the velociraptor was sitting right inside,” Benson said.
Police detained the three suspects on charges of grand theft. Benson said one was 18, another 19 and the third a juvenile.
