A dinosaur figure that went missing from a Langford store display a few weeks ago is back where it belongs, thanks to an alert West Shore RCMP officer.

Police received a report Oct. 2 after the mini T. rex disappeared from Liquor Planet.

By coincidence, the officer on the case had seen the figure at a residence while on an unrelated call.

“So they went back there and they retrieved it, and that person said they had bought it second-hand,” said Cpl. Nancy Saggar.

No arrests were made and the “Jurassic art” was returned, thanks to a “dino-mite” investigation, police said.
