Dinosaur on the loose in New York

New York police are on the lookout for a missing dinosaur, last seen at the weekend in an affluent Long Island suburb.

The life-size fibreglass replica of a carnivorous Deinonychus went missing on Saturday from a local festival.

"It's a very unusual theft, and because of that, we're hoping the public will spot it somewhere," said detective John May.

"You'd definitely notice it, if someone rode by with it," said Cindy Smith, spokesperson for the Oyster Bay Festival.
