A “prolific thief” was caught on surveillance video making an unusual getaway from a garden center as he made off with a giant figurine of an orangutan, worth over $1,000, recently released video showed.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary said Derek Lundgren left the store without paying, before jumping on his bike, placing the giant figurine across the handlebars and cycling off.
Police said the statue, which was taken from Scotsdales Garden Centre in Horningsea on Sept. 7, was retailing at £799.
Lundgren has now been jailed for one year and 11 months after pleading guilty to theft, and breaching three suspended sentences.
